"Contacts Add BCC" software extension adds a BCC button to the contacts panel on the compose window, allowing for easy addition of recipients to the BCC field.
In the context of email, BCC stands for blind carbon copy. This practice has been used for typewritten correspondence in the past, with varying degrees of difficulty. One method involved ensuring that the BCC information did not appear on the top copy, and typing it onto the other copies by rolling them through the typewriter again.
An alternate method involved switching the ribbon setting to strike the paper without raising the ribbon over the area being struck. However, this method left impressions in the surface of the paper.
To use the Contacts Add BCC button, Thunderbird must be version 0.8 or higher. Installation is simple - just right-click the download link and select "Save Link As..." to save the file to your hard drive. Then, open the Add-ons menu in Thunderbird, click Install, and select the downloaded file. Overall, the Contacts Add BCC button is a useful extension for Thunderbird users who require increased privacy in their email communications.
