We want to send a mass e-mail to a distribution list, or
group.
In our testing we find we need to put the list in the
BCC so that all names do not appear to all receiving the e-
mail. However when doing this what does show in the TO:
field of the recipient is the email address of the person
sending the e-mail. How do we correct this or is it even
possible Example I (diane@forging.org) am sending an e-
mail to a group called Reminder of meeting. When Joe
receives this e-mail in the "to" field my e-mail address
shows and not Joe's. Thanks

It's usually best to have something in the To: field. Some mail servers
won't send a message without some address in the To: field.
You can create an entry with any name you want in the To: field. This MS KB
article may help:
