sending to undisclosed recipients

[Linda]

I have received mail from outlook express where the to: indicates
"undisclosed recipients". How do you do this. There are many time I would
like to send out email and not have everyone else see who I am sending to.

To use the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) feature, In Create Mail, either click
View | All Headers and type in the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the
To button. You will see your list of contacts and the choice of putting them
in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, then click BCC to add it.
Repeat for all the contacts you want. (Note: Most ISPs have limits as to how
many e-mails you can send a one time. 25 is common, but it varies).

Put your own address in the To box. This is the only address/name that any
recipient will see. If you leave the To field blank, some people may not
receive the e-mail due to message rules they have set up, or restrictions
set by their ISP.

You can also make an entry in the Address Book using your e-mail address,
but putting something like Mailing List in the display field.

Hi Linda,

This is the easiest way...when you compose an email, don't put any names in
the 'to' address line but put them in the bcc line.
If you need to remind yourself who you sent the email to later, go to the
sent folder, high light the email and press control and F3 and you will see
the names.

Hope that helps.

Your email program will put that in the To line if you leave the To line
blank AND you put the recipients on the BCC line. However, some
mail servers will not accept this, in which case you may have to put your
own email address on the To line.
