Outlook BCC

Options
Trying to send a few emails from Outlook (not Express) with a group of people in BCC.

It works (people can't see eachothers' addresses) but in the To line it shows as the address I'm actually sending from.

Any ideas how to change it so it just says the group name or something?

    I suppose you have tried leaving the To: field blank? Or putting a dummy email address there?

    When I leave the To field blank, the emails show that it's being sent to the email that it's sent from (if you can understand that!).

    Not too sure what happens if a dummy address is used. I'd rather have it say a name though, I'm sure I've had emails which do it before.

    create a group in your address book. Add your own email address to the group and send to that group in the to box and put your recipients in the BBC field.
