I want recipients of my Distribution List to see only the Distribution List
Name in the "From" portion of their e-mail. I have successfully created and
used a Distribution List, but the cc back to me shows a long string of
individual e-mail address in the "From" line. When I send the e-mail only
the Distribution List appears in the "To" portion of my e-mail.

I want my group to identify with the DL name and not be encumbered with a
long string of e-mail addresses. I feel that instructors in my group will
bond better by the group name, have a cleaner looking e-mail, and more likely
to repond. There is no hidden agenda or reason why others shouldn't see a
string of e-mails, I just think it looks and works better showing only the DL
Name.

Thanks.

Create a contact whose name and Display As field match the name of the DL
(it's perfectly OK to have identically named items in Contacts). Assign
your own mail address to this contact. Then when you address the message,
put the contact in the To field and the DL in the Bcc field.
 
Thanks Brian! - Neil
