Does anyone know how to make Outlook Exprss send an email to multible recipients and when each person receives the email, it will say the sender is also the recipient? I receive emails like this often and wonder how people configured their OE to do it. Some tell me they don't know, it just does it.

Thanks

Probably sent it with their email address in th To line and the rest as Bcc
(Blind Carbon Copy) so those addresses don't show.

Start a message
If the Bcc line doesn't show, click on View | All Headers

BCC

Suggestions on using a mailing list in Outlook Express (Windows):
- In the Address book select New Group, give it a name (e.g. Bob's
Mailing List BCC), and then use Select Members to add the desired
contacts to the group
- In the Address book select New Contact, give it a name (e.g. Bob's
Mailing List) and enter your own e-mail address
- When you want to send to the list, in the TO field select the "Bob's
Mailing List" entry and in the BCC field select the "Bob's Mailing List
BCC" group. Recipients will see "Bob's Mailing List" in the TO field
(which looks better than "Undisclosed Recipients" which sounds like
spam, and may get filtered out by some ISP anti-spam filters), they will
not see the name or address of any of the people in the list and you
will get a copy of the message.
(With OE5+ you have to check the option to View, All Headers in a Mail
composition window in order to see the BCC field.)
Note: Your ISP sets the limit for the number of names per group. If you
exceed their limit, they will refuse to send the message. Check with
them for their limit. Limits are typically in the 10 to 100 range, with
50 being fairly common.

Bcc will only make sender = recipient for one recipient. You really
don't need to do that; it is largely a spammer trick to bypass filters,
because many people whitelist their own email address.

To properly use Bcc, you should designate one of your own email accounts
to use in the To: field. Choose an email address which you don't mind
getting spammed. Your recipients will all see the same email address as
the sender.

If you don't use at least one email address in the To: field, MS Outlook
Express will send email to "Undisclosed Recipients"; many spam filters
regard that as an indication of spam, and will divert such email to a
spam folder, or even silently delete it.
