WebBoard places the list of names in the blind carbon copy (Bcc:) line so that email addresses remain private. The To: line contains the same name as the From: line. By default, there are no names on the Cc: line, but you can add them when you preview the message.

To send an email to a group of WebBoard users, follow these steps:

1. On the Management Menu, click Administrator or Manager; the option available to you depends on your authority level. The Administrator or Manager menu appears for these two levels.
2. Click the Send Bulk Email link. The Send Email form appears.
3. Make a selection in the Recipient list. Board managers do not see as many choices as administrators. The choices include:

   Yourself

   Use this setting for testing to send an email message to yourself. (WebBoard administrator and board managers)

   All users, all boards/this board

   Sends the email message to all users on all boards (WebBoard administrator) or this board (board manager).

   All WebBoard Administrators

   Sends the email message to the WebBoard administrators. (WebBoard administrators and board managers)

   All board managers

   Sends the email message to all board managers. (WebBoard administrator and board managers)

   All conference moderators

   Sends the email message to all conference moderators on all boards (WebBoard administrator) or to the conference moderators on the current board (board managers).

   Board users

   Sends the email message to all users on the board you select in the Boards list. You can select only one board. To send to multiple boards, you must send a message to one board at a time (WebBoard administrator only).

   Private conference users

   Send the email message to all members of the private conference you select in the Conference list. You can select only one conference. To send to more conferences, send a message to one conference at a time.

4. Enter the email subject.
5. Type in your email message. There is no size limit and you can paste text from another application. Your signature as entered on your user profile appears; remove any HTML tags if necessary.
6. To preview the message before sending it, click Preview. The Send Bulk Email (Preview) page appears, showing the contents of the From:, To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines as well as the message body.
   • The recipients are listed in the Bcc: line.
   • The To: line contains your email address. You could change it to, for example, (WebBoard managers).
   • The From: line contains your email address.
   • The Cc: line is empty. Add any email addresses you want.
7. To make changes, use your browsers Back button to return to the Send Bulk Email page or make changes on the preview form. You can add names to the Cc: field only from the preview page.
8. When you are done editing the email, click Send.
