Default Can I control what the recipient sees in a distribution list email

You need to use the BCC field for the distribution list if you want to hide
the addresses. You can't customize the mails using a dl, you'd need to do a
mail merge, which might be a good idea anyway.

I'll need to restate the question, since I'm unsure of the terminology -
actually it's a two-part question. Here goes. Part 1) Say I have one
hundred
people in a distribution list, that I want to send a boiler-plate email
to.
For confidentiality purposes, I don't want one person knowing who the
other
persons are. Can I set the email transmission to show (at the recipient's
end) only the recipients email address and name (and noone else's). Part
2)
if the answer is yes, then can I customize each email to show the person's
name (in the same fashion as I would do in a mail merge)?

I'm using Vista Operating System & Outlook Vers. 7.

Thanks,
AS
