We want to send a Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) to a List of
people.
Advantage of Bcc: No one else knows who also receives
the email. We will send mail to the Originator because
the TO: line must have an address. Thus we end up
with the TO: and FROM: line as the same person (the
sender) [We will use me in the examples dw@dw.on.ca]
Example 1: Basic Bcc.
C:\YARN\YARN\ADDRBOOK
David_Wilson: dw@dw.on.ca
The_Team: joe@abc.ca,\
matt@ibm.com,\
bev@company.org
Sender
To: dw@dw.on.ca
From: dw@dw.on.ca
Bcc: The_Team
Receiver
To: dw@dw.on.ca
From: dw@dw.on.ca
Bcc: -
The above example #1 is normal Bcc. The List receives
the Email with no idea as to who else got it. The only
odd item with Example #1 is the Sender sent it to
themselves. Now Look at example #2 ....
Example 2: A twist. Edit the Address Book file with
an ASCII text editor and add at line 2 the following.
dw@dw.on.ca (David_Wilson)
Note that this entry is backwards!
We now have ....
C:\YARN\YARN\ADDRBOOK
David_Wilson: dw@dw.on.ca
dw@dw.on.ca (David_Wilson)
The_Team: joe@abc.ca,\
matt@ibm.com,\
bev@company.org
Sender
To: dw@dw.on.ca
From: dw@dw.on.ca
Bcc: The_Team
Receiver
To: -
From: dw@dw.on.ca
Bcc: -
Thus with example #2 the TO: line is now Blank! and the
Bcc is still Blank like it should be. A nice feature
of the Yarn Address Book.
Questions:
1) Are other getting this result?
2) What is the reason?
3) Where can one find the rules for the Yarn Address Book?
C:\YARN\YARN\ADDRBOOK
4) What site defines RFC 822 ?
I trust this helps others on the list ...
Cheers!
