I'm sure someone in this group will tell you to post this at the Outlook
Express Newsgroup. However, it takes me just as long to give you a response
here as it would at the OE group. LOL.
To create a group, go to the Address Book by clicking on the Address Book
Icon in the Toolbar.
Click on NEW, then, choose group. Follow the dialog box to name your group
and select who you want in that group.
Once the group is created, you can add or delete contacts by opening the
Address Book.
In the left pane, you'll see your group. Double-click on it to open it. Use
the buttons to the right to select members from your address book, add
members not in the address book or remove members.
To send a blanket message to the group, use the BCC field instead of the To:
or CC: fields. By default, OE has this field turned off. To turn it on, open
a new message (Create Mail button) as if you are sending one. Click on View
in the menu bar and click on All Headers. Now, you have a new field under
CC: called BCC.
To use this field, I created an e-mail address called YOU that contained my
own e-mail address. This is because you MUST have at least one contact in
the To: field. When I send a group message, I use my YOU contact in the To:
field.
Then, you click on the BCC address book to the left of the BCC field.
Double-click your group to add it to the BCC message recipients to the
right. Click OK.
Now, your contacts will not be displayed in the header of the message. All
they will see is To: YOU.
Hope this helps.
