I often forget that I've got to look in the little text stuff in gmail for stuff like 'BCC." When I do my emails to the club I do 'email the group," then
click in the addresses and hit "control A" to select all, then "control x" to cut it, then click on the "BCC" to open that window and paste it in there... then put my address in the to: section.

It is totally non-intuitive. I still have to re-figure out the group stuff and I"m pretty savvy.
