Windows Mail Group Contact

I send group emailings for my community. Up to now I have used Outlook
Express 5 on an old iMac which cannot be upgraded. Have taken the plunge and
purchased a laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic. I have no problems with
using Windows Mail instead of OE but am surprised that it does not allow me
to hide the email addresses. Apart from the incovenience of sending
recipients half a page of email addresses before they get to the actual text,
there is the quiestion of privacy and security. As Windows Live is supposed
to be the successor to OE, can't this facility be included. If not, I will
just have to go back to using the iMac just for the milti emailings.

I see from other forums that Mozilla Thunderbird is a suggested alternative.
I have to say that I would rather avoid having to download yet another
program just to gain one small facility. Comments on this and avice on the
first para much appreciated.

Hello Godfrey,

You can add the "BCC" field in Windows Mail, then place your email
address in the "TO" field and your contacts in the "BCC" field so
everyone will only see your email address (or whomever's in the "TO"
field). The tutorial below can help show you how to add "BCC".

Hope this helps,
