How to get "undisclosed recipient"

[Crazy man]

I'm using Outlook 2003 on XP and have never been able to work out how to
make a mail arrive at other end with "undisclosed recipient" in the "TO"
box?

I send many test mails but can never work this out, even with ONLY addresses
in BCC field test still arrives at my end with my address in "TO" box.

Sure there is a simple answer?

Thanks

Yes, this is not done in Outlook but on the mailserver

If it is addressed to you, your name will be in the "to" box. Are there any other names there? If not, each has received the email with only their name in the box. All others are covered with the undisclosed tag.

Creaet a contact named "undisclosed recipient" and give it your email
address. Edit the display name to only include that name and not the email
address. .

Try this work-around. Create a Contact for yourself, called "Undisclosed
Recipients" and make it's address your own, The, when you compose the
message, put that contact in your To field and the remaining addresses in
the Bcc field.

Not necessarily. Either the the mail server or the recipients' mail client
will determine the content of the To field when receiving by Bcc. I've
tested several mail clients with the same message. The contents of the To
field was different for each client.

There is a way in Outlook Express to do this using the Bcc box. But
what the receiver sees is "Undisclosed-Recipient" in their To: box.

What is seen in the recipient's To field is entirely dependent on the
recipient's client.
