How do I hide email addresses from other addressees?

[Guest]

I want to send an email to several people, but I don't want them to see each
others email addresses. How do I accomplish this? I don't mean the bcc
field...

Well, BCC would be one way, but the other would be to do a mail merge, which
I believe will require word be installed. If word isn't installed, you'll
have to mail each person individually.

Bcc is how you do it. Why do you not want to use it?

You can also use a mail merge, if you want.

I have found the easiest way to do that is to mail it to yourself and BCC
(blind copy) everyone else. Much easier than mail merge. Note though that
many ISP's limit the number of outgoing bcc's thinking that a large list
might be spam.

Bcc is how you do it. Why do you not want to use it?

A number of spam blockers will have issues with a message that does not
appear to have the recipient addressed in the header of the message, as you
would get in a BCC. If I were mailing to Internet users, I wouldn't BCC but
use mail merge instead. Which I probably should have said in my original
reply.

Actually, you did say that.

I said that, but I didn't say that I would recommend doing the mail merge
instead of the BCC, which is the key point. "Well, BCC would be one way,
but the other would be to do a mail merge" doesn't have any commital behind
it, or even recommendation as to which is the better solution.
