BCC designated Undisclosed Recipients may not reach all of the
intended people. Please read on.
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 ISP's 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 create groups if you send mail to the same people often.
To create a group of contacts:
You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a
message to several contacts at once. Simply create a group name and
add individual contacts to the group. Then, just type the group name
in the To box when you send e-mail.
1.. In the Address Book, select the folder in which you want to
create a group. Click New on the toolbar, and then click New Group.
2.. The Properties dialog box opens. In the Group Name box, type the
name of the group.
3.. There are several ways to add people to the group:
a.. To add a person from your Address Book list, click Select
Members, and then click a name from the Address Book list.
b.. To add a person directly to the group without adding the name
to your Address Book, type the person's name and e-mail address in the
lower half of the Properties dialog box, and then click Add.
c.. To add a person to both the group and your Address Book, click
New Contact and fill in the appropriate information.
d.. To use a directory service, click Select Members, and then
click Find. Select a directory service from the drop-down list at the
end of the text box.
After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added
to your Address Book.
4.. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.
Note
a.. To view a list of your groups separately from the Address Book
listings, in the Address Book, on the View menu, make sure that
Folders and Groups is selected.
b.. You can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to more
than one group.
