When doing a Mail Merge Email, how do you BCC: the recipients?

[janaw]

I am trying to do a mass email through Mail Merge. I don't want the whole
list of recipients to be visible to everyone once I send my email. I want to
BCC: all the recipients rather than just send it to them.

My data list is in an excel file, not in my Outlook address book. So I can't
simply choose a group from Outlook.

Does anyone know if there is a BCC option for the Mail Merge email?

Thanks.

Not out of the box, but it can be done by automating the Outlook Object
Model in a variation of the method in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with
Attachments" at:
