When I send an email using a group name, my recipents will
know who are the other people receiving the email. Is
there anyway to prevent this? What I would like is to be
able to send an email to a group of people (of different
groups of people) without them knowing whoelse is on the
mailing list.
 
Dear Russ,

I have tried the BCC method. However, what appears on
the 'To:' is Undisclosed-Recipients, which I don't like.

Then I created a bogus group name (which is very much
similar to the actual group name) using my email address.
The actual group name was then put in the BCC. This seems
to work, the recipient see the bogus group name instead
of 'Undisclosed-recipient' but I can't send more than one
bogus group name. Please note that all the bogus group
names are using my email address.

Thanks and regards
Brenda.

Put the addresses in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field of the mail header.
If that field doesn't show while you're composing a E- mail go to the View
menu and select 'BCC Field'.

Alternately you could use an application like the ones listed here:

Russ,

Forgot to mention that I am using Outlook Express 6, not
Microsoft Outlook.

Thanks,
Brenda.

Outlook does not do that. You must be using something else and have posted
in the wrong group.

Aha.
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
outlook express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x

A good website for information on OE is:
