Character limit in bcc field?

[Gareth Hughes]

Hi all,

we're currently trying to email all of the contacts in our database, around
4000 addresses. We do this by copying and pasting all of the addresses into
the BCC field in Outlook. The problem we're having is that not all of the
emails are copying into that field, there seems to be a limit on the field
length.
Does anyone know how to overcome this limit?

Many thanks for any help,

Gareth.

Don't use Bcc. Instead, use a mail merge to send individual messages, which will be more likely to make it through the recipients' spam filter.
