| 164481 | 2003-08-01 10:25:00 | As Secretary of our ratepayer association, I want to email newsletters etc to our 200 members. How can I do so without everyone's address appearing in the 'To' box, and without having to manually shift each address across into the 'To' box? All addresses are in the same folder. I'm running OE6 with all its patches. |

| 164482 | 2003-08-01 10:34:00 | I would reccomend using BCC as that is the 'safer' way of doing things - means that noone get's to see eachothers email address and helps reduce spam.. Each recipient will then get their own email address appearing in the 'To' field when they recieve it The easiest way to get the addresses however is to open a new email, click on To or something so the address book pops up, and then click on the first entry, press and hold shift, and then click on the last entry.. This will get them all. Then just press Control and select entries you don't want like family members and so forth CyberChuck |

And as per CC's advice re BCC. Cheers Murray P |

| 164484 | 2003-08-01 10:49:00 | Try creating a Group. BCC works for other Emails and it's best to use very often. If you want to send the same Email to the whole of a Group like the sewing circle or the computer club then make a GROUP and add all Members. Then just post to the Group. I use Outlook and post a regular news thingy to all our members. All the Members are in a Group. |

| 164485 | 2003-08-01 10:57:00 | You can use any address in the "TO" field. I always use my own, and that way I know if it has been correctly addressed to the others. In the "BCC" field, enter all of the 200 subscribers. With OE6, you should be able to do this with one click. For the folder containing your names you could drag into the BCC field with your mouse by holding the left click button down while moving the mouse over to BCC BCC stands for "BLIND Carbon Copy". That means that each one gets a copy without seeing who else is on the list. Hope It Helps. |

| 164486 | 2003-08-03 10:51:00 | I was aware of the advantages of BCC, but the prospect of manually click n' drag 200 plus addresses into the BCC box didn't attaract - hence my plea for help. Many thanks. Sounds like your way will do the trick Jim |
