When I send a group email, using bcc, all addresses are visible to all
recipeints. How do I send emails with BLIND CARBON COPIES using Outlook 2002?
 
Put the addresses in the BCC field. No recipient can see the addresses.

Yes, that is the obvious thing to do, and that is what I have done, but all addresses contained in BCC are visible to every other recipient. This situation also exists with another acquaintance of mine who has tried the same thing.

Visible where?

They are visible in the "To" address field

So, you're saying that the recipients see

To: a, b, c, d, e, f, ...

on their received messages? If so, I don't see how you can be using the Bcc
field. The Bcc field is not contained in the data stream that travels from
the server to the client. The receiving mail client just doesn't get that
information.
 
Simply impossible. Provide your evidence to the contrary.

Not sure how to send you the evidence! I have done this again this morning, from another computer, I have sent myself an email putting one address in "To" and 4 different addresses in "Bcc" and they have all arrived in the "To" field.
 
Any address you put in the BCC field simply cannot be seen by those
recipients. What you are doing when you send yourself a message is unclear.

I have gone to another computer which has a different email address and sent an email to myself using "To" and "Bcc" for 5 different addresses, not all of which use the same ISP. How can I send an example to you?
 
You can't. You don't need to. Sending an email to yourself is not a relevant
example. No other recipient to whom you send an email in the BCC field will
ever see what's in the BCC field.
