Wondering how a group email can be sent without all recipients names showing to all recipients1 person needs an answerI do too

As you have posted in the XP section of the forum, I’ll assume you’re using Outlook Express.You enter your email address in the To field, click on the symbol alongside the Cc box and enter the group name in the Bcc (Blind carbon copy) box at the bottom.

To use the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) feature, in a new message window, either click View | All Headers and type in the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the To button. You will see your list of contacts and the choice of putting them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all the contacts you want. (Note: Most ISPs have limits as to how many e-mails you can send a one time).Put your own address in the To box. This is the only address/name that any recipient will see. If you leave the To field blank, some people may not receive the e-mail due to message rules they have set up, or restrictions set by their ISP. You can also make an entry in the Address Book using your e-mail address, but putting something like Mailing List in the display field.*********************You can also create groups if you send mail to the same people often.To create a group of contacts:You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at once. Simply create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then, just type the group name in the To box when you send e-mail. 1.. In the Address Book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New on the toolbar, and then click New Group. 2.. The Properties dialog box opens. In the Group Name box, type the name of the group. 3.. There are several ways to add people to the group: a.. To add a person from your Address Book list, click Select Members, and then click a name from the Address Book list. b.. To add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your Address Book, type the person's name and e-mail address in the lower half of the Properties dialog box, and then click Add. c.. To add a person to both the group and your Address Book, click New Contact and fill in the appropriate information. d.. To use a directory service, click Select Members, and then click Find. Select a directory service from the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your Address Book. 4.. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.Notea.. To view a list of your groups separately from the Address Book listings, in the Address Book, on the View menu, make sure that Folders and Groups is selected. b.. You can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to more than one group.If you want to send to a group without all the addresses being shown to each recipient, open the Address Book and make a new entry. Enter the group name in the Display field, but use your address. (Some ISPs require a legitimate address in the To line, and the recipients will know it is from the group).Click the To button | Enter the group name using your address in the To field | Enter the Group in the BCC field.
