Subject: Multiple mailing w/out mult. listing?!?

Greetings...

Perhaps this is a lame question, but how can l forward mail to multiple
people without it listing *everyone* l've sent it to?!?

I tried using a little command line prog but it wouldn't mail with an 
alias, and l can't change my chfn login name...

Is there some way to do this in pine or a short command line program that 
*would* work? I think mine wouldn't work because lt used 'mail' or 'mailx'
and lve read the online manuals yet lack lack the technical knowledge to
really know what to do!!

Thank!!

sure, no prob.  just access the whole header (cntr-r when in the header)
and put the aliases in the bcc: line.  that's for blind carbon copy, if
you're interested.

Try in 'a' for addressbook and use the 'l' (I think) for 'list' and type
them in.  Can't remember if it shows them all or not but its an idea.

You send the message using BCC: and that should - except where the system 
lists all addressees, send it to them without identifying who got the 
message.  For them you might want to use either a bulk mailer or use 
sendmail.

Let me ask this: will the BCC field accept list aliases?
