TO CC BCC - What is your Choice?

 TO CC BCC - What is your Choice?


When you send an email to many people and many groups, where do you mention all the recipients? You have a choice of putting them in TO, CC, BCC fields. 

You may put all email Ids in the TO field. When the receiver replies' all', then all your friends get the reply. This may not be desirable. You are also exposing all your friends to spammers. Some recipient may, without thinking,  reply all - this may include a group to which he is not a subscriber - then the message will bounce.

If you put some in bcc, those mentioned in TO or CC fields won't know others who are included. There is a possibility of the message being forwarded again, due to this ignorance.
If a person in BCC replies to all, then the secrecy is gone.

I have been experimenting with different options but have not come to any conclusions.
