How to Send a BCC Email From AOL to All My Contacts
Sending mass emails threatens the privacy of every recipient if you are not careful. You wouldn't want your friends blabbering your contact details to their accountant and poker buddies, but that's exactly what happens when you blast out an email to everybody in your address book using the standard "To" field. Respect the privacy of your friends by using the "Bcc" field when you send a mass email to all your AOL contacts -- they'll appreciate it. The option isn't immediately obvious, but it's there, and it hides the email addresses of the recipients from prying eyes.

Tips & Warnings
Some email programs allow you to hold "Shift" and click on the first and last entries in your contact list to select everyone. AOL Mail, or AIM Mail, does not support this feature while selecting Bcc recipients.
