  Just put all the addresses into the "Bcc:" line instead of the "To:"
line.
  To make the "Bcc:" line show up, press ^R when the cursor is in the
header of an e-mail being composed.

I have a question:

When creating a multiple address list, is it possible to hide all the 
addresses?  For example, when I send a message to everyone 
in my department, I have an address set up so that I just type "ref" in 
the "TO:" slot.  However, it is cumbersome for others to read the mail 
because the first page is full of all the addresses that the mail is 
being sent to.  Is there anyway to hide these addresses?

That's what a mailing is for!  ;-)

Sure, put the "multiple address list" onto the Bcc: line.
Then everyone will get a copy, but not see other addresses.

As a mail needs an adress in the "To:" list, too, put yourself there.
Or just "root".  ;-)
