Hiding the "to" field on email sends OL2002

[Cameron]

I have a group of people that I need to send an email
too. My problem is, if I just add them all to the email,
then everyone will be able to everyone elses email
address. I know I could send the email to 1 person and
bcc the rest in, but is there a way to send the email so
that it goes to everyone, and they all see the 'to' field
as "Marketing Group" or something like that?

I tried setting up a distribution list, but when I send
the email, it goes to everyone on the list, but it still
shows all the email addresses of all the people on the
list. Can anyone help me with this? Let me know if you
need more information. I am using OL2002. Thanks!

Why can't you create a contact, with a name like 'Marketing Group'?
The actual address doesn't matter, at least in OL 2000, as long as it
looks like a valid address format. Then put the other recipients in
the Bcc: field.

I just sent a test message using OL 2000 to (e-mail address removed) (the
domain doesn't exist) and a Cc: to another real address. Outlook
tried to send the email, and it went to the Cc: address just fine. A
few seconds later my ISP's mail server rejected the mail to
(e-mail address removed) .

If you don't want to see the bounce, then use a real address.

Also, do you really need anything in the To: or Cc: field? I send
stuff every day with those fields blank, and all the recipients in the
Bcc field.

If you put them all in the Bcc field, they'll see "Undisclosed receipeints"
as the To, which to my mind qualifies as "'Marketing Group' or something
like that".

Not with Outlook they won't. That's OE. Outlook will put nothing in the To:
field when you use BCC.
