Using Bcc/Header to show DL Name; not undisclosed-recipients:

I've created a distribution list (DL) and named it. When using blind copy, is
there a method/trick I can use to result in recipients seeing the DL Name
only (or a name of my choosing) beside To: in the header? When sending, if I
place a contact from my address book in the To: box (I've tried setting the
contact up with the Display name being the DL Name and using my email
address). This has mixed results -- some recipients will have my email
address or the DL Name + <my email address> in brackets beside To: in the
header. When sending, if I don't place something in the To: box, then all
recipients get the words "undisclosed-recipients:" beside To: in the header -
not the result I'm looking for.

Your best bet would be to use mail merge which would show the individual's
name on the To line. Not sure if it would show the DL name or not but check
the information listed here:

Yes.  Create a contact whose Display As is the same as the DL name.  Assign
it your address.  Put that contact in the To field.
