Pine info recently responded to a message concerning suppressing E-mail
addresses from the following inquiry:

    Frequently, using Bcc: (Blind Carbon Copy) or Lcc: (List Carbon
Copy) is a courtesy and convenience to the recipients, and concealment
has nothing to do with it.  Suppose you want to send a single email to
500 address.  If you list them all under To: or Cc:, then each
recipient is going to have to scroll through screen after screen of
addresses to get down to the message.  This is irritating to many
people, and they don't want to look at this huge list of addresses.
Using Bcc: or Lcc: make it easy for them.>

Could you please tell me how you implement BCC and/or LCC in Pine?  thanks Jim

To use Bcc and/or Lcc with Pine...

1.  Upgrade to Pine 3.95

2.  Start composing a message.

3.  Put cursor on any header line of your message.

4.  Type ^R (Rich Headers), shown in the Command Menu at the bottom of the
    screen.

5.  Use the Bcc: and/or Lcc: fields thus revealed.

Cheers,
