BCC (Outlook 2002)

[Norm]

When I send a message to a group of people and I send it
BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), how come the receivers get the
message and it says, From and To which both happen to be
my name. How can I get my name from not appearing in the
To line?

Shouldn't the receiver see From (me) and To (their name)?

No, that's not how BCC works or how Outlook works. No address put in the
BCC field will show up in the message when it arrives at the recipient's
end -- that's how the addresses stay "blind". If you don't put anything in
the To field, your ISP may either bounce the message, or perhaps (and I'm
just guessing here) they will add your address in as the To. The best way
to control what goes in the To field is to put something there yourself, but
most people just use their own address for simplicity.

To send the same message individually to multiple recipients at once, you'd
need to do a mail merge instead of using the BCC field.
