I have been receiving a few email reminders about linky parties lately - which is fine - but it does worry me that many people are doing them in such a way that all recipients can see all the email addresses. It would be much better for those reminders to be sent via bcc (ie blind copy) so that the only email address the recipient sees is their own. To do this you can either address the email to yourself or there is an undisclosed recipients address you can use (but I haven't done it so can't tell you how to do it) and then put all the other recipients into the bcc section.

I didn't think of that (the party invites showing everyone's email) but you're right...probably a better idea if they didn't.
