Subject: loooong address headers

Had a student ask me a question on pine today.  The secretary of a 
student activity group sends meeting notices with Pine 3.91.  She uses 
the address book feature to define a group with the addresses 
of 200+ members.  What she would like to know is if there is anyway to 
suppress the printing of all 200+ address in the header of the mail 
message.  A receiver of the message may have to scroll thru 200 lines of 
mail addresses just to read a one line message, "meeting at 8".  I'm 
cross-posting to comp.mail.sendmail since this may be a sendmail issue.  
(We are running sendmail version 5.64 which came with our RS/6000.)

Either create a sendmail alias for all 200 addresses, or have the secretary
place all recipients on the Bcc: line.  You need to have at least one 
person on the To: line however, otherwise sendmail will add the 
Apparently-To: header.
