If you're only sending e-mail to a few individuals, how do you
avoid it going out as bulk mail?

It is by definition "bulk" when you send to many people. What you
should be concerned with -- if I guess your intentions correctly -- is
to make sure it's never +unsolicited+.

E.g. <http://www.cauce.org/> has some explanations of the terminology.
Basically, make sure everyone you send to has opted in (and not been
spoofed etc). If you do this on a larger scale than just close friends
of yours, you should probably be using a proper mailing list manager
and set it up to confirm subscriptions etc.

Hope this helps,
