Hiding multiple addresses in an e-mail

J

Jay

I want to be able to send an e-mail to multiple
addresses, or a group address that I have set up.
My question is this: How can I do this so each
individual that receives the e-mail will only see their e-
mail address, or the e-mail Group name?

Please help!
Thanks,

There are two ways you can approach this. You could create a new contact
with a name like "Hidden Recipient List" and assign your e-mail address to
it, then put that contact in the To field and all the other addresses in the
BCC field. When the recipient gets the message, he/she will see only
"Hidden Recipient List" as the addressee. (He/she may see your e-mail
address too, but it shouldn't matter -- they won't see any of the other
addresses, at any rate). If you don't want to create a separate contact for
hidden recipients, you can simply put your own address in the To field
instead.

If you'd prefer to send the message to each recipient individually, so that
his/her address appears in the To field, you'd need to do a mail merge. You
could possibly do this through Word, or you could use a third party mass
mailing program. More information is available here:

The only problem I had with a mail merge to email (should have figured
this--duh!) was that it created a seperate copy of each email in my "sent"
folder instead of just one addressed to the whole list. It worked great,
however--just like a Word email with cutom fields and all.
My email to a mailing list uses the "BCC:" method. Each person sees a dummy
"TO:" address, plus their own name in the "CC:" field. I have a list of
about 85 people that get this periodically and it works fine. I just made up
a dummy TO: name, and accept the fact that my mail server will bounce one
copy back to me as undeliverable.
