Forwarding E-mail messages

We've all received e-mails that have been forwarded multiple times and contain a long list of e-mail addresses. Unfortunately, unscrupulous people including hackers and spammers can harvest these addresses.

To prevent this from occurring when you forward e-mails, follow the steps below to use the Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) feature. This allows you to send messages to many recipients without displaying their addresses and compromising their privacy.

Forwarding E-mail Messages With Bcc

1. With the selected e-mail open, click on the "Forward" button on the toolbar.

2. If the "Bcc" field is not visible, select "View" from the menu bar and then select "All Headers" from the resulting drop-down menu. The "Bcc" field will now be visible below the "Cc" field.

3. Click on the "Bcc" button and a list of all saved recipient e-mail addresses will appear. You can choose from this list or you can manually enter the e-mail addresses of your chosen recipients.

4. As a courtesy to others, highlight and then delete the "From" and "To" addresses within the body of the e-mail so spammers don't harvest these addresses. Plus, its annoying to have to scroll down pages and pages of addresses looking for the e-mail itself.

5. It is a good idea to enter your personal e-mail address in the "To" field as often times spam filters will catch messages that do not have an address in the "To" field.

6. Click the "Send" button on the toolbar.

Tip of the Day - No lipstick on teeth!

After applying lipstick and/or gloss, place your finger into your mouth, wrap your lips around the finger and gently pull out your finger in a lollipop motion.

The excess lipstick on the inside of your lips will end up on your finger instead of your teeth. Simply wipe it off on a tissue and you're good to go.

Tip of the Day - Shave your legs!

Use hair conditioner to shave your legs. It does a great job, leaves them soft and does not add aerosol emmissions to the atmosphere from the spray can.

In a pinch, it can also be used as a shaving cream for men since it feels like a shaving gel.

Tip of the Day - Things floating in eyes?

Bothered with floating things in your eyes? It could be dry skin around your eye lashes which flakes off and get into the eye.
*
Wash your eyes and lashes with baby shampoo....such as Johnson's "No More Tears" or any one that advertises "no tears".
*
Put a little shampoo into the palm of your hand, add a goodly amount of warm water, make suds, and wash the eyes.......opening them and rubbing the suds into the upper and lower lashes. It doesn't burn.

Makeup, mascara and dirt are finally being thoroughly washed away.

Tip of the Day - Hug somebody!

Hugs are not only nice, they're NEEDED.

*

Hugs can help relieve pain and depression, make the healthy healthier and the most secure among us even more so.

*

Hugging feels good.....overcomes fears......eases tension......provides stretching exercises if you are short......provides stooping exercises if you are tall.
*

Hugging also does not upset the environment.....saves heat......is portable...requires no special equipment.......makes happy days happier.......makes impossible days possible.

Tip of the Day - Foggy shower mirror

My favorite "Tip of the Day"....clean your mirror with shaving cream!

I like a HOT shower and although we have a fan in the bathroom, the mirror gets steamy and foggy. If you clean your mirror with shaving cream, as you'd do with Windex, it won't fog up.....it will be perfectly clean, no oily film and you'll see your reflection as usual.

But, don't do what I did! I pointed the can of shave cream at the mirror and pressed the button....whoosh, I had a gob the size of Texas on the mirror with rebound splatters all over the wall! And more than a few blobs on me!

I know better now!
