A. This is very easy to do and it is also a very considerate way to protect your friends' email addresses from getting out in the public. When you open your address book to check the addresses, put them in the BCC box. Then, you will type your own address in the send box. You will get a copy of the email to yourself that you can later delete and your friends will get it also but not the addresses of the other people you sent it to.
