How to make an Undisclosed Recipient list...
I am using MS Office 2007 and I am sure it is the same or pretty much so in other versions of Outlook because the result of my search from 2007 is giving me the solution for 03 (see below). I got this information from my 2007 Outlook help option which directed me to link below that I am in part sharing with you (I am not posting the whole page... Just follow the link here to read the entire thing -

"Undisclosed" Is the Kind of Word That Can Get You Into Trouble
In emails, disclosing can get you into trouble, too. If you forward a message to a number of friends (some of whom are unknown to each other) by placing all the recipients in the
Cc: field, you effectively share private email addresses with strangers. A long
Cc: list does not look good either.
Fortunately, we have the
Bcc: field in
Outlook — and we have "Undisclosed recipients".
Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients in Outlook
First, we'll create a
Contact just for addressing our "Undisclosed recipients" to ease the pain of repetitive typing and avoid errors. (You can rely on Outlook's auto-complete feature instead if you prefer.)
- Click the down arrow of the New button.
- Select Contact.
- Type "Undisclosed recipients" under Full Name....
- Type your email address under E-mail....
- Click Save and Close.
- If you already have an existing address book entry bearing your email address, make sure Add this as a new contact anyway is checked in the Duplicate Contact Detected dialog and click OK.
Now, to send an email to multiple but hidden recipients with "Undisclosed recipients" in the
To: field:
- Start with a new email message in Outlook.
- Click the To... button.
- Highlight Undisclosed recipients.
- Click To ->.
- Highlight all people in your address book to whom you want to send the message.
- Click Bcc ->.
- Click OK.
- Add any additional recipients' email addresses to the Bcc: field.
- Separate addresses with semicolons.
- Compose your message and eventually click Send.
Hope the above helps.

I'm using Outlook 2003 on XP and have never been able to work out how to
make a mail arrive at other end with "undisclosed recipient" in the "TO"
box?
I send many test mails but can never work this out, even with ONLY addresses
in BCC field test still arrives at my end with my address in "TO" box.
Sure there is a simple answer?
Thanks
