Default Distribution Lists

How do I set a distribution list so that when I send a global email, it only
shows the email address of the person I have sent it to and not the whole
distribution list. i.e I want to send a blanket email to a distribtion list.
thanks

You can't do that with Distribution Lists. You must use mail merge if you
want each person to see him or herself as the recipient. You can, however,
put a DL in the Bcc field and then no one will be able to see the other
recipients. They won't see themselves as the recipient, either. The To
field will be empty unless you put some address there, like your own.
