Suggestions on using a mailing list in Outlook Express (Windows):
- In the Address book select New Group, give it a name (e.g. Bob's
Mailing List BCC), and then use Select Members to add the desired
contacts to the group
- In the Address book select New Contact, give it a name (e.g. Bob's
Mailing List) and enter your own e-mail address
- When you want to send to the list, in the TO field select the "Bob's
Mailing List" entry and in the BCC field select the "Bob's Mailing List
BCC" group. Recipients will see "Bob's Mailing List" in the TO field
(which looks better than "Undisclosed Recipients" which sounds like
spam, and may get filtered out by some ISP anti-spam filters), they will
not see the name or address of any of the people in the list and you
will get a copy of the message.
(With OE5+ you have to check the option to View, All Headers in a Mail
composition window in order to see the BCC field.)
Note: Your ISP sets the limit for the number of names per group. If you
exceed their limit, they will refuse to send the message. Check with
them for their limit. Limits are typically in the 10 to 100 range, with
50 being fairly common.

"Deborah Ferguson-Winners Circle Browbands"
Post by Deborah Ferguson-Winners Circle BrowbandsI like to send occasional newsletters to people in my address book. I have
a folder named "mail list" with about 100 people. Is there any way when I
send mail to the group that I can hide each individual's email address in
the "To" heading? I don't want everyone to know who's on it! Any help would
be appreciated! Thanks.
