Outlook Express: hiding names of multiple recipients

[David]

I want to notify my customers of my new email address but
I don't want them to see who else is receiving the
message. I know I can enter them in the "Bcc:" box but
then the message will list the wrong name in the "To:" box
(except for the one person listed there). If I create a
group or add all the names in the "To:" box, all names can
be viewed by the recipient. The best I've come up with is
to enter a name "Customer" in my address book with my
email address and send the email "To: Customer" and then
enter all my customers in the "Bcc:" box. I know this
works but some email programs show the email address
behind the name after the "To:". This isn't optimal but so
far it's the best I've come up with. Is there the
equivilant to "Bcc:" for the "To:" box or is there another
answer to my problem? Thanks!

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Something's wrong; if you use only the Bcc box, then the To box should
not contain the wrong names, rather it should be completely blank.
