   Yes.

   Probably not. What you can do is to put your name in the "To: "
   line, hit "Control-R" and put the other names on the list in
   the "Bcc:" line.

   Good Luck

That is can you send out to a list of people so that they
only see their own address and not the complete list
of addresses it goes to.

The blind copy, or bcc: function is easy to find -- just press Ctrl-R for
"rich header."  (You have to be in the header when you press it;
otherwise, ctrl-r is the key for retrieving documents).  Put your list
name there, and you're halfway done.  The second step is to put something
in the To: line.  I suggest

Distribution List <youraddress@yourhost>

If you do that, everything is jake.  But if you put nothing in the To:
line, everyone on your list will gets a copy of the entire list, displaced
to the bcc: line.  Why, I don't know.  But the function does work 
perfectly with that adjustment.

Good luck,

Michael

             It is a commonplace that's hardly worth
               A poet's while to make profound or terse,
             That now the sun does not go round the earth,
               That man's no centre of the universe;
               And working in an office makes it worse.

I can use RICH HEADER when composing email that lets me enter blind cc's 
and also indicate what folder to save the sent message to.  You have to 
use CTRL-R when the cursor is in the address / upper section of the 
compose screen.

Hope this is of help.
