I wish to send messages to my newletter group of about 170
names which are in a sub folder of my Outlook Express
address book. This used to be easy under earlier e-mail
programs, but I have not found out how to get all the
names into one e-mail.

In addition, I have not been able to find any help on the
use of the Bcc box to suppress showing the other
recipients.

Any help will be appreciated.

1. Make an entry in your OE Address Book for the name you want them to see
in the To field and give it your email address.
2. Make a new Group in the OE Address book with a name slightly different
from the above and put all the contacts in there.
3. Open a new message and click View | All headers.
4. Put the name from 1 above in the To field.
5. Put the name of the Group in the BCC field.

Note: Many ISPs limit the number of recipients per message. Mine limits it
to 25. In this case I would need three or four groups, maybe GroupNameA,
GroupNameB, etc.

Also note that some people have Message Rules which will prevent them from
seeing these messages.
