Send Discreet Message with BccThis

BccThis allows you to send discreet messages to select recipients in Outlook. This plug-in in Outlook creates a new window where you can type your additional message along with the original email message. Another window displays the list of the recipients where you can select who will receive the additional message. Only those selected will receive it. Messages sent with BccThis can be viewed without installing the plug-in.

Basically, you will now have two part of your e-mail. One is the public content which can be view by all the recipients, and the private content which can be viewed only by those selected in the BccThis window. This plug-in provides an entirely safe and secure way of sending messages.

BccThis is also available in Twitter, and soon in Blackberry devices.
