Can I control what the recipient sees in a distribution list email

I'll need to restate the question, since I'm unsure of the terminology -
actually it's a two-part question. Here goes. Part 1) Say I have one hundred
people in a distribution list, that I want to send a boiler-plate email to.
For confidentiality purposes, I don't want one person knowing who the other
persons are. Can I set the email transmission to show (at the recipient's
end) only the recipients email address and name (and noone else's). Part 2)
if the answer is yes, then can I customize each email to show the person's
name (in the same fashion as I would do in a mail merge)?

I'm using Vista Operating System & Outlook Vers. 7.

Thanks,
AS
 
Use the Bcc field and put in the names of the recipients. The ones receiving it will
not see the other peoples names
 
You need to use the BCC field for the distribution list if you want to hide
the addresses. You can't customize the mails using a dl, you'd need to do a
mail merge, which might be a good idea anyway.
