Help: I have created a group with 75 individuals. When sending an
e-mail to the group I do not want to have all the recipients show up in
the "To:" field, just the groups name - how can I do this.
thanks
Jack

Hi Jack,

This can not be done directly. A common method is to create an address book
entry for yourself with an appropriate display name (name of the group, for
example). Use this entry for the To: line. Enter the group entries on the
Bcc: line. Recipients will see only the display name, although it will be
your address.

A message rule could be used for the display name (People) to avoid filling
your OE Inbox with copies of the messages sent to the group. For example, it
could be rerouted to another folder, the Deleted Items folder or deleted
from the server.

Create a Message Rule
In Outlook Express
Tools | Message Rules Mail

Note: "people" can be the display name or a full e-mail address. The full

address would be less likely to interfere with another rule.

Tip: A condition can be reversed in the Advanced section.

1. Select the Conditions for your rule:

Where the From line contains people
Where the Subject line contains specific words
Where the message body contains specific words
Where the To line contains people
Where the CC line contains people
Where the message is marked as priority
Where the message is from the specified account
Where the message size is more than the size
Where the message has an attachment
Where the message is secure
For all messages

Tip: Most rules work best with "stop processing more rules" also selected.

2. Select the Actions for your rule:

Move it to the specific folder
Copy it to the specific folder
Delete it
Forward it to people
Highlight it with color
Flag it
Mark it as read
Mark the message as watched or ignored
Reply with message
Stop processing more rules
Do not Download it from the server
Delete it from server

3. Rule Description (click on an underlined value to edit it):

Thanks - I knew I had done it in the past but for some reason (maybe
age - or that extra martini last night) I could not figure out how I
had done it in the past. BCC does what I need just fine.

Many thanks
Jack
