" Dear Dennis,
I need to know how to list several addresses in such a way that no one knows who else received the message. If I list them separated with the semi-colon all addresses are sent to everyone. Would appreciate any help and thanks for your information site as it is really helpful. "
My response:
What you are referring to is called Blind Carbon Copy, or BCC. If you use Outlook Express:
- Create your message (or reply to message)
- Click view -> all headers in the message window
- BCC will be shown
- Insert the remaining email addresses in the BCC field
If you use another program to send your emails, go to the Help menu and do a search for "BCC" or "blind carbon copy". Hope that helps!
