Just came across an interesting mail technique called “moved to bcc”. Here’s how it works
- You introduce me to a friend of yours and finish off with some variation of “okay, have fun!”
- I want to thank you for connecting us but not keep you on for the details.
- Instead of cc’ing you, I bcc you and say “Thanks! (moved you to bcc)”.
- You get the thank you message.
- When your friend replies to me so we can get to talking, you’re gracefully freed from the thread.
