SENDING EMAIL WITH HIDDEN RECIPIENTS

[Guest]

I want to send bulk emails with html documents and attachments to my contact
list with the email addresses hidden. I've been told that BCC'ing to a list
that has more than 20 contacts would result in my email going to spam/junk
folders. Is there another way to send this out aside from BCC?

I know it works for MS Word's mail merge function but that only seems to
send PLAIN TEXT emails w/o attachments.

Help please, thanks.

The BCC addresses are not sent with the outgoing messages, so there is
no way that the receiver would know how many addresses were in the BCC list.

Pat - word is that BCC'ing more than 20 contacts at a time will result in my
email AUTOMATICALLY going into recipients' spam/junk folders.. the recipients
would most likely not even see my email.

Mail merging with Word sends email out one by one from the "TO" instead of
"BCC" thus recipients do not see other addresses I've sent to. BCC'ing will
hide addresses as well but will likely put my email in the spam folder (if
more than 20).

In Word though, I've only been able to mail merge with the main document in
plain text format... Is there a way to mail merge while sending an HTML doc
and file attachments?

My objective is to be able to send HTML docs and file attachments to a list
of 50 recipients without the recipients seeing the other addresses I've sent
to. Mail merging is just an option I use to personallize each email but my
bulk emails do not need this (to be personalized), they just need to be sent
out with the addresses hidden.

HELP... PLEASE?

Have you actually tried this? I cannot understand how a receiving email
client can automatically moving mail to the junk mail folder if it was
sent to more than 20 BCC addresses - the receiving mail client has no
way of knowing that. Or did I misunderstand something?

You can set restrictions for incoming BCC'd mail in Outlook. Some set it at
20, meaning mail BCC'd to 20 or more recipients (...it will know this), will
go to the spam box. Others don't set any restrictions, thus all BCC'd mail
goes to the inbox. Thing is, there's no way for a sender to know the setting
of each recipient.

Mail merging in Word sends individual emails to each recipient thus
eliminating the spam box problem. Wth this though, I've only discovered how
to send 'plain text' emails, no attachments.

I would like to find a way to send with attachments with the recipients
addresses still hidden.

Is there such a way???
