Gmail - select BCC recipients from your Contacts list

OK, this is the scenario - you want to send fro m Gmail to multiple recipients selected from your Contacts list. Easy eh? You select the contacts (or select All) and then hit the little envelope button.

There's just one problem - all these addresses end up in the To field. They can see each other's addresses and, perhaps more dangerously, spammers can.

Moving these addresses into the Bcc field was not a self-evident thing to do.

This is what you do:

• Check the contacts you want to send to
• Click the envelope button to open a new email. All the contacts you selected will be in the To field
• Click in that field and select Bcc at the right
• Click on the last contact and use Shift-Up arrow to select all the contacts
• Use Ctrl-X (Command-X on a Mac) to cut them
• Click in the Bcc field and use Ctrl-V (Command-V) to paste them
• Don't forget to write the email!
