Super simple Chrome extension that automatically moves the TO field to BCC and the CC field to CC when replying to an 'intro' email.
This is a drop-dead simple extension that makes responding to intro emails easier. Better BCC'd will move the introer to BCC and the introee to the TO field automatically when you hit Send.
It's super simple, install the Chrome extension, refresh Gmail and you're on the way.
1. Open an intro email (e.g. Magda introduces me to Bart).
2. Press Reply All
3. Include the word "BCC'd" in the body of your email:
Thanks for the intro Magda. I BCC'd you.
Hi Bart, it's great to meet you!
4. Hit Send.
That's it, Better BCC'd will handle moving the introer to BCC and the introee to the TO field. Enjoy!
*** Be sure to refresh each of your Gmail windows before using the plugin.

- (2015-12-03) Ethan Kravitz: Great concept but probably not kept up to date. It works but it replaced all the spaces in the email with +s. Very+embarrassing+to+send+an+email+that+looks+like+this. Test first with a personal account! Can't recommend since it is probably not being maintained.
- (2015-09-28) Peter Friis: The concept of this is great but after I installed the extension and then tried it in an email it did not work. Wondering if this still works or if gmail updates have rendered this non-functioning.
- (2015-04-10) Ryan Nichols: LOVE it, thanks for creating, been looking for something like this. Note that the shortcut is case sensitive.
