Bcc Only

In Outlook I could send messages that included only 'bcc' addressees (to
keep personal addresses private). Entourage X seems to only allow this if
you include at least one address in the 'To' or 'Cc' positions. Am I
missing something? Can this be changed?

You could sidestep the issue simply by making the sole "To" recipient be
yourself and all others "Bcc".

No, you're not missing anything, the programme is that way by design :(

The developer's interpretation of the RFCs is that a 'to' address or 'CC'
address in mandatory.

You can set up a group for your recipients, and set the 'do not show
recipients' flag in the group. Put this group in the to box and the message
will be sent with all Bcc recipients.

Alternatively, there are script at www.scriptbuilders.net for sending bcc
mail.
