Message #63178

[Cathy S]

I use it on occasion when my boss needs to see I have communicated a specific message but showing him as copied in could dilute the message (ie folks need to think the message comes from me in my role, rather than on behalf of him).

The other time I use it is to send myself a copy of an e-mail I want to follow-up on - I'd rather BCC myself than have everyone thinking I am going nuts and sending the e-mail to myself!  If I used Outlook I would use the Journal for this but I have to use GroupWise which is not so user friendly - although it has a neat checklist facility at the top of my mail folder so I can drag the BCC'd e-mail to the list and set priorities/dates for me to follow-up.
