Whenever I open up an e-mail I always have to scroll down to see the message because there is this huge list of e-mail addresses. It would help if you leave 1 e-mail address in the "to:" and put the rest in "bcc:" when you put the e-mail addresses in the bcc it will still send the e-mail to those addresses but in the e-mail it wont show the e-mail addresses, rather it will just say, "undisclosed recipients" (well something like that anyways).
An issue of privacy and security can come up too. What if someone joins ELH just to get e-mail addresses to build up an e-mail list of mechwarrior 4 players? I'm sure lots of clan/units expose e-mail addresses in their e-mails they send out. It becomes a simple copy/paste job since there all lined up one after the other. Right now, I can just send everyone a ton of junk e-mail since I have everyone's e-mail address, would you like that? No, of course not, but it's all there, it can happen any time by anyone.
Putting the e-mails in the Bcc would certainly help since I don't have all the time in the world to scroll down in every message, and it would also help save space in my e-mail account. Yeah, i don't check my e-mail in 2 days and I get 10 - 20 e-mails. Can e-mail replies be sent only to the author of the e-mail and not everyone else? Most of the e-mails are "Re: title here." I'm not so interested by everyone's individual response in the e-mail. That's why we have our nice forums here.
Well it's not so important, I'm not that lazy to scroll down to see a message, and thanks to the delete button I can delete unwanted e-mails. But I do like to keep an archive of e-mails ( I still got e-mails all the way back from July )and it's hard when account space gets filled up fast.
This is all just something to keep in mind when sending out future e-mails. I don't really care less if they just stay the same. Well this is the end of my rant, I don't mean to offend anyone by it. Just give it some thought.
