Subject: Single Recipient Distributions

Is there a way to produce a distribution listing so that when you mail to 
that distribution, it won't have the list of all the people you are 
mailing to?

I have a couple of lists with upwards to 50 people (and growing), and it 
gets a little tiring for them to get their daily mailing and have to weed 
through two or three pages of names of people who got the same mailing.

Robert,

Sure, just hit ^R to get rich headers and put the listname in the Bcc.  
That way the recipients will only see their own name.

Thanks for the interest!

Any chance that a fuuture version will allow this on the normal address 
line?  Remembering to ^R and use Bcc could be a pain.

Actually, when using BCC, the recipient will see the originator's name (in
the From: ) line, but they will not see their own nor any other recipient's
name, as there will not be a To: line.

on VM, the rice mailbook package will show the first 5 in the list and
hide the rest for you so you don't have to page down 10 times to read
a 3 line message :-)
perhaps a future version of pine could do this?

What I did is to mail to one user then blind copy to the distribution listing.
