Outlook distribution lists
Is there a way I can send an email, using a distribution list, BUT have the
recipients only see their name and not the others? thanks.

I realize this, but when I do that I don't want all the names to show in the
TO: line. "Brian Tillman" wrote: J.Bennett wrote: Is there a way I can send an email, using a distribution list, BUT have the recipients only see their name and not the others? thanks. You'll need to use a mail merge for that. -- Brian Tillman

You don't understand what a mail merge is. A mail merge only puts one name
in the To: field. Outlook uses Word for performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters, mailing labels, envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these functions take a look he http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/printlabel.htm http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/mailmerge.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...186361033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "J.Bennett" wrote in message ...

Why don't you just BCC them? If you blind copy it will appear that each
individual is the only recipient. Piece o' cake. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: You don't understand what a mail merge is. A mail merge only puts one name in the To: field.

It's not necessarily that simple. How the recipient's mail program handles the Bcc is up to that program, not you. Best case is that you get what you describe. Worst case is that it's marked as spam. In between, the user sees a message with a blank To.
If you want more control, mail merge is the way to go. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "KJ" wrote in message ...
