Distribution Lists, How to Set up?

[LurfysMa]

From time to time, I get messages from professional organizations and
others that is clearly sent to a distribution list, but only my name
appears in the To: field.

Can I do something like that in Outlook?


Checking the archives, I see that one recommendation is to put the DL
in the BCC field. I just tried a test using that method. It does keep
the dl addresses hidden, but it appears to put my email address in the
To: field for all of the recipients. That is, I included several
contacts in the dl and the email they all received had MY email
address showing in the To: field.

Is there some way that I can get the actual recipient's email address
to show there?

Ideally, I would prefer that some title, such as "Bridge Group" appear
in the To: field so they know that they have received it from the
bridge group list.


The other suggestion I saw was to use mail merge. I have never done
that before. I thought it was for letters and envelopes. Can someone
give me the general steps to setting it up for this use?

Thanks



I currently have Outlook 2000, but will be upgrading to the latest
version oon when we get new computers.

That would require a mail merge to electronic mail.
Outlook uses Word for performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters,
mailing labels, envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these
functions take a look here:
