Subject: Lists and bcc:

According to the faq you are suppose to be able to sent mail to a list by 
using the Bcc: header and the names in the list will not show up in the 
recipients mail. This doesn't work for me. What I get is all the names 
in the list showing up in the recipients mail with the following annotation:
Apparently to user@somewhere
Apparently to anotheruser@somewhere
etc

Any help? I'd like to be able to mail to some rather large lists I have 
without two or three pages of names showing up.

~~~~~~Are you completing the "To:" field?  This is what I do on my Pine
3.89 and it works.  Make a dummy list in your address book with the
nickname "dummygood" for instance, using a generic full name such as "All
recipients on Santa's list", and your own address. Then compose your msg 
by typing in "dummygood" in the "To:" field.  Access rich headers (^R) to 
get the "Bcc" header, and type in the actual group distrib listname there.  
Note that the Bcc will show up in your sent-mail copy, but not in the 
recipients'.
