Summary: Undisclosed-Recipients is placed in the To: field by some mail programs or ISPs if the From: field is empty but Bcc: isn't. It's not easy to force.
When using bcc to send out emails from Outlook Express 6.0, the recipient should see "Undisclosed-Recipient;" in the TO field. However the recipients in my bcc list that I sent out see my own (the sender) email instead. Eventually it is showing as \"FROM: myemail@domain.com, TO: myemail@domain.com". How do I get it to display "Undisclosed-Recipients:;" in the TO field?
Unfortunately I'm seeing different results. When I use Outlook (not Outlook Express), I see the behavior that you describe. On the other hand, if I use Outlook Express I see the behavior you're looking for: "Undisclosed Recipients".
As a result, I'm not sure exactly what to tell you. I hate to say "It works on my machine.", but it does. Anything else about your setup that might be unique?

When I use gmail to send Bcc emails to a list of recipients, I don't even bother putting any info into the To: block. All the addresses go into the Bcc: block as you'd normally send a list of email addresses. Hit 'send' and away it goes. Naturally when you look at the email message you just sent you're goint to see all the email addresses listed in the message, but on the recipients' end, they'll either see nothing identifying how the message got to them (except for your From: address) or they'll see it came to just the one address as a Bcc from you. Make sense? Anyway, it's a cool way to send to friends and not have to worry about getting someone's nose out of joint who doesn't want their email addy shared with everyone else. Cheers, d'P
Posted by: d'Pappy at December 12, 2008 9:25 PMI think my e-mails go as " Undisclosed Recipients " but I also always get an e-mail When I click on the "TO field " after I click on all the contacts I want to send to in the BCC field it gives my e-mail address in the to field. Is that the way it is suppose to go.

Posted by: carolyn turner at February 11, 2009 1:35 PMI use outlook express. I put undisclosed recipients in my address book with my email address in the email space. I tried leaving out my email address out of the address space. I put all the send to addresses in BCC. When I send email this way, I always get a copy of the email too. I tried having to "TO" space blank and it will not send. What am I doing wrong?

Posted by: Neil McKenna at July 4, 2009 4:49 PMI sent a test e-mail from my Gmail account to two other non Gmail accounts using bcc. One of them showed in the header, but the other did not. What makes that difference? Do you know of anything I can change to make that appear or not as I wish?
