This is always done by someone in a hurry under pressure from a manager in a
hurry. "Get this out of the door NOW", "Have you sent it yet?" etc?
I have never yet seen a malicious occurrence. Training is the key, plus an
aide memoire by every desk. Additional useful vehicles are a DP Newsletter
highlighting the pitfalls and pratfalls

I've seen the following report on Usenet, somewhat [redacted] to protect the
guilty, what do people think?
>I filled in the online consultation for the [high profile County
>Council planning proposal] and supplied my email address to be kept
>informed of progress. I have just had an email from the county
council >informing me of a series of public exhibitions.
>
>All well and good but the email was sent directly with the list of
>almost 1,000 people in the To: field, not as a BCC:. A quick glance
at >the list reveals [several local people I recognise]. Can they do this?
>Surely basic data protection prevents them broadcasting my email
>address to all and sundry.
