    You need to use the Bcc: ("blind carbon copy") header field.  Put the 
cursor in the headers and press Ctrl-L to get "rich headers."  Then put 
the addresses of all your recipients in Bcc: (you can use an alias list 
if you do this very often).  Note that you need to put _something_ in the 
To: field.  The simplest thing is just to send the message To: yourself 
and Bcc: to everybody you really want it to go to.  If you do not have 
Bcc: when you display rich headers, go into Setup/Config and add it.
