@Jim
If I understand correctly what you want, you can send using BCC and include a list of the names in the body of the email.

When sending email in Outlook 2007, I do not want the recipients email address to show but I do want the recipients to know who all received the email. How do I do that?

There are several other situations when it's right to use BCC. If you're sending something to a rather miscellaneous bunch of people who don't necessarily know each other or have any connection except via yourself, you protect each recipient's privacy. You prevent the use of indiscriminate reply-to-all that could be embarrassing to you or others (Reply-to-all does not extend to BCCs of the initial message). And you prevent your recipients' addresses being re-used or sold for commercial purposes.

Its good to hide your e-mail address because someone can create an address on your behalf and make your life a living hell.

You can do a mail merge with Outlook 2003 and 2007, under Tools, that sends the same message to a group of people and doesn't reveal the other recipients. You can even address each recipient by name in the body of the message. However, I have Outlook 2002 so I have to start the merge in Word, using a folder within my Outlook contacts as a souce of e-mail addresses. Instructions are at http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/mailmerge.htm.

To send emails to a lot of people, without the recipients knowing each other, you should list the recipients as bcc, or use a mailing list.

If the problem is that you don't want people knowing your real email address, then you can use some pseudo email address generator. There are some nice services out today, like hidemails.com.

this article describes how to hide email ids of recipients from other recipients. i was wondering if there is a way to have the individual recipient's id alone in the 'to' space for every recipient, without other ids being visible to him/her.

Only by sending individual messages. Mailling list software can do that. "Mailman" is popular for do-it-yourselfers (somewhat geeky) and aweber.com is the service I use.

I have gmail and I've tried everything in the book to prevent my mail recipients to see other's addresses, but it won't work. I use the BCC feature but the addresses still show. I know this because I tried sending a message to multiple recipients, where I put one of my other mails in the TO box and the rest in the BCC box. That's when I found that the addresses were displayed.
Thank you very much for your help.

If you're looking in your own sent mail, then they may still be there, since you're allowed to see what you sent. You need to check the actual email received by one of the people getting the email in their account. I'll bet the BCC line is not visible there.

If i need to send out a message to a lot of people, but i want them to only see their own name on the email, as if i personally sent it to just them and not 25 other people as well, how would i do this in Microsoft Outlook?

The only way to do that is to send 25 individual emails. You can do that yourself, or you can use a mailing service like aweber.com.

Hello,
there is a webpage, www.emailhide.org, that encrypts your email address in a secure manner. All you nedd to do is type in your email address and is returned html code with a link with your encrypted email. I've tried and now i use it everytime. There's also a automatic gen for webmasters. Check it out.

While interesting, that has nothing at all to do with what this article is about.

How do I see who I've sent an email to once it's been sent bcc? Want to check and be sure I didn't already send it. Thanks.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Yes and no.

You can change the "From:" address on email you send. This article covers that:
http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_send_mail_from_my_mail_forwarded_address.html

However that does not *hide* you. Your actual email address may still be in
the mail headers, as may be the IP address from which you're sending email.

Hi Leo,

had the same question as someone before:

"Good afternoon.
I would like to know if there is any trick in Outlook to Hide my e-mail address once I send an e-mail from my outlook.
If there is such a feature I would also like to know if instead of my e-mail it would be possible to appear "Customer Services" or something like that.

Thank you very much for your answers and tips!
Posted by: Oriol at February 21, 2006 12:42 PM "

is there a solution for this?
Thanks
Aiden

The solution to a personalized message without a long Cc list is to use a mail merge program like PC iMail (http://www.prosoftapps.com/pcimail). It will let you add mail merge fields such as "Dear [FirstName]" and will insert each recipient's name in the message, and it will also send the message individually to each recipient for a personalized touch.

The other issue these days is the limitations many ISPs place on the number of messages that can be sent in a given time period. My ISP limits me to 25 messages per minute, and so PC iMail's time delay feature helps out by letting me specify the number of messages that will be sent for a given time interval (e.g. Send 20 messages every 60 seconds).

You probably already know this, but what should a
person do to send a BCC if their e-mail doesn't
show BCC in the TO field? ANSWER: Usually your
e-mail will have a CC blank. In this space, list
the outgoing e-mails with a parenthesis "("
before the first and a ")" after the last e-mail.
I learned this when I had an account with JUNO.
Their outgoing mail has no BCC.

ALSO, when attempting to send e-mail to
UNDISCLOSED-RECIPIENTS, many e-mails REQUIRE a
domain. Thusly, you must address the e-mail to
UNDISCLOSED-RECIPIENTS@yahoo.com, or the domain
you are e-mailing from. Naturally, you'll get a
'unknown' e-mail back saying it couldn't be
delivered. However, all of the 'OTHER' e-mails
will be delivered.

Keep others from knowing who SENT the e-mail?

You can try the technique's here: http://ask-leo.com/archives/000097.html but it's difficult (and some would say unethical) to *completely* hide your from address. There are anonymous email services out there, if that's what you're looking for. Try googling for that if so.
