Default Using an email list

When I send an email to a list I compiled, it seems that each recipient
sees the whole list. How can I send the email to each person so he/she
sees only their name and not the names of the other recipnents?

1-Is there a way to "hide" the names of the other recipients?
2-Is there a way to do more than hide the names of the others -- but to
prevent the savvy recipient from seeing them?

Thanx in advance.

Dave

Yes; do a mail merge to electronic mail instead of sending to a group. Your
version of Word must match your version of Outlook in order to do this.

to prevent the savvy recipient from seeing them?


That's the same as hiding, isn't it?
You could of course just put all the recipients in the BCC field, instead of
the TO field, and put your own address in the TO field.


Thanx in advance.

You have two choices. You can use the Bcc field and no one will be able to
see the other recipients or you can use mail merge, which sends a separate
message to each person so that there are no other recpients.
