Sending mail

[mussels]

How do you send mail and conceal the addresses of the people you are sending it to? So that others dont see who all the email is also sent to.(Undisclosed Recepients) I am using WINDOWS 2000 Pro and Outlook express5.
Thanks in advance.

Place the addresses in the BCC instead of To or CC. BCC is also a useful tool when you want someone to read a message but not let the person(s) in the "TO" list know that the BCC addressee(s) were on the list. I have used BCC to include my boss, sometimes to cover myself other time just for information. I haven't used the following, but I've been told that some people create a Group named Undisclosed Recipients but include no addresses. They insert the Undisclosed Recipients group in "TO" but place actual addresses in BCC.

To see the BCC, start a new message, select: View, All Headers.

Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
