Hi,
I'm using Microsoft Outlook 6 on Windows XP Professional.

When I send an email to a number of contacts within a group, the
recipients can see who else was sent the email.

Is there any way in which all contacts can remain hidden from each
other, so that a recipient within a group would not know, who else the
email has been sent to?

Thank you for your time.

I presume that you mean Outlook Express version 6.

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: when you view the message in the Sent Items folder, you'll need to
look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3) in order to see the BCC header.
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.

Yes, put the addressees in the BCC box (enable View | All Headers to make
the BCC field available).

To use the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) feature, In Create Mail, either click
View | All Headers and type in the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the
To button. You will see your list of contacts and the choice of putting them
in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, then click BCC to add it.
Repeat for all the contacts you want. (Note: Most ISPs have limits as to how
many e-mails you can send a one time. 25 is common, but it varies).

Put your own address in the To box. This is the only address/name that any
recipient will see. If you leave the To field blank, some people may not
receive the e-mail due to message rules they have set up, or restrictions
set by their ISP.

You can also make an entry in the Address Book using your e-mail address,
but putting something like Mailing List in the display field.

*********************

You can also create groups if you send mail to the same people often.

To create a group of contacts:

You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message
to several contacts at once. Simply create a group name and add individual
contacts to the group. Then, just type the group name in the To box when you
send e-mail.

1.. In the Address Book, select the folder in which you want to create a
group. Click New on the toolbar, and then click New Group.
2.. The Properties dialog box opens. In the Group Name box, type the name
of the group.
3.. There are several ways to add people to the group:
a.. To add a person from your Address Book list, click Select Members,
and then click a name from the Address Book list.
b.. To add a person directly to the group without adding the name to
your Address Book, type the person's name and e-mail address in the lower
half of the Properties dialog box, and then click Add.
c.. To add a person to both the group and your Address Book, click New
Contact and fill in the appropriate information.
d.. To use a directory service, click Select Members, and then click
Find. Select a directory service from the drop-down list at the end of the
text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added
to your Address Book.
4.. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

Note

a.. To view a list of your groups separately from the Address Book listings,
in the Address Book, on the View menu, make sure that Folders and Groups is
selected.

b.. You can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to more than one
group.

If you want to send to a group without all the addresses being shown to each
recipient, open the Address Book and make a new entry. Enter the group name
in the Display field, but use your address. (Some ISPs require a legitimate
address in the To line, and the recipients will know it is from the group).

Click the To button | Enter the group name using your address in the To
field | Enter the Group in the BCC field.
