Chapter 2 Highlights - 3 Facts Learned Blog

Assignment 2 - After reading Chapter 2, post to your blog 3 facts you learned from the chapter. Tell the fact, definition, or explain what you learned.

Fact 1 - I learned that Opera Mail saves messages in a single database rather than mailbox folders as other email programs do. The database inhibits built-in filters and allows the user to place messages into categories for easy search and retrieval of messages.

Fact 2 - I learned that spam is also known as unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or bulk mail. It has been reported by the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) that 80% of daily sent email consists of abusive spam.

Fact 3 - I learned that a blind courtesy copy (Bcc) hides a recipient's address from all other recipients. The blind courtesy copy line can be used to hide the involvement of a main recipient. A blind courtesy copy also has the ability to aware one or more recipients of the message and protect the privacy of their address.
