I want to send out an email newsltter type thing to a group of business
contacts. Only polite that a recipient should not see all the other
email addresses. So I open the Address Book in Thunderbird, make a New
List, give it a name and drag all the contacts I want into that list.
then I can go 'Write' for a new message, and put the name of the new
list in the 'To:' box, so far so good, only the list name shows as a
recipient. Can anyone confirm that when the mail is sent the recipients
won't see all the other emails? It isn't a question of high security,
just etiquette.

Thanks,

Tim W

Put your own address or a nul address (which can be a pretense of the
mailing list name) into the To:-field. Drag all the intended recipients
into a Bcc:-field. (Bcc = Blind Carbon Copy)

All the best, Timo
