The Curse of the BCC
Nov 20th, 2009 by MPC Press
Bcc is a good email option, but sometimes I wish it didn’t exist. Today I emailed a client who owed money, essentially asking for a check, but in an appropriate way; I bcc’d my boss so he would know that I was taking care of the situation. My boss quickly hit the “Reply to All” key and typed: “That *%&*@* better pay us!” Did he mean to hit Reply to All? I think not, but this was really my fault. Why didn’t I leave him off the original email and then simply forward the email to him to show I was on top of it? Hindsight is 20/20.
