Sending Messages to Students using
Mail Links
In several different parts of your
Account Management area, you will see mail links which
allow you to send email messages to students. For example,
in the main Students section, there is a link for sending
a message to all your students, and in the Classes section,
each Class description includes a link for sending a
message to all students in that class, as highlighted
below:

Privacy and Mail Links
The hotpotatoes.net mail links work
in the same way as email links on ordinary web pages
- they do not send an email message themselves, but
"pop up" your email program with a new message
ready-addressed.
To preserve students' privacy, the
email messages are not sent directly to the list of
students, as this would make it possible for all the
students to see each others' email addresses. Instead,
any message sent by a teacher is addressed to that teacher's
own email address, with the relevant student addresses
included in the BCC ("Blind Carbon Copy")
list. This means that although a copy of the message
is sent to each student in the list, this list of addresses
is hidden from the message recipients.
