Sending to multiple people

Dave Dickson

Does anyone know how to do the following?

I frequently send emails to a large number of people in one email. Is there
a way to format it so that the recipient will only see their email, and not
see that I sent it to a large number of people?

Put your own name in the To field and everyone else's name in the Blind
Copy field.

(It's not too early to shop -- good chocolate and cheap gin.
Or is it cheap chocolate and good gin? I never
remember. No jam--coal to Newcastle and all that. "-)

Another way: create a group with the addresses of all those you want to send
the e-mail to and then check the "Don't show recipients" box for that group.

That option shows the name of the group instead of the person. I want to
send an email to 50 people, and have that person see just their name.

Sounds like you want the convenience of sending to a group list but actually
send to each entry individually. That would require an apple script (you'll
need to get help elsewhere for that). However, the negative of that
approach is that you will actually create 50 virtually identical e-mails and
transmit 50 e-mails into the Internet instead of just one to the group. So
your computer will end up doing all the work instead of passing it on to the
Internet.

Put all the contacts into one category. Then use Word 2004's Data Merge
Manager to send the email to all the contacts in that category.
