When I send a mail using bcc field in the the recipient's field "to" appears
my e-mail.

What should I do for avoid that?

I'm trying to get some answers in the Web for several hours and I di't get
any satisfactory (and easy) answer until now.

I 'm using Microsoft Outlook.

Outlook doesn't do that.
State your Outlook version, mail account type, and how you are creating,
addressing and sending these messages.

Yes it does. If you want to see I can forward to you a mail wher you can see
the problem

Outlook version: Outlook 2003 Sp1
Mail account type: POP3

I put several e-mail's in field bcc and I send the mail. The recipients
receive my mail with my e-mail in field "to".

Forward away.
This behavior is inexplicable and I know of no one who can reproduce it.
Include more detail as to how you are populating addresses and what
information store you are using.

Good afternoon

I don't understand what you mean with "as to how you are populating addresses
and what
information store you are using."

I use either the contacts stored in my adress book or I write the e-mails
directly in the bcc field.

I've asked a friend with a different mail server to reply the situation and
he got exacly the same result.

No one else can reproduce this behavior.
That's why I asked you for the exact steps to reproduce the behavior.
1. How you are selecting and entering the email address
2. What type of mail server you are using
3. Where your Contacts are stored.

Outlook does not store any information in an address book.
You must be using a PST file.
I can't find anyone who can reproduce this behavior. Hopefully someone can.
You're sure this is Outlook and not Outlook express?

Incidentally, most mail servers require an address to be in the To: field,
so if you have left it blank, you'll need to put at least some address
there. Many email programs will put your address there if you leave it
blank, so some versions of Outlook may do this as well.

I've confirmed my contention.
Outlook does not do this.
Your mail server is doing it. Take it up with your ISP or populate your To:
field with whatever you prefer to appear there.
