How can I hide the distribution list on To: field?
My list has over 300 addresses.
I use pine 3.91 and 3.93.
Please email me directly.

Jackie

  Thanks for the information. Things are now much better than back in
Pine 3.89. :-)

Or, at least in PINE 3.95, you can put the nickname of the distribution
list in the Lcc: field.  You'll see the names listed, but they won't be in
the To: field.  I currently do this method with a distribution list with
success.

A 'To:' address is not necessary. If the 'To:' field is blank, Pine puts 
the string

empty-header-message     = "To? To you, of course! :)"

(( default-value is 'Undisclosed recipients'. I have modified it above
to what I wanted))

Finding the ulusive(?) Bcc: header...

1.  Put cursor on any message header line when composing a message.

2.  Look at command menu at bottom of screen.

3.  Gasp in astonishment at the "^R Rich Header" item shown there.

4.  Try typing ^R and be amazed at the appearance of all the available
    headers (including Bcc:)

:-)

Festive Cheers!

Use BCC: (Blind Carbon Copy) instead of To:

(Do a Ctrl. R while in the header to get at the BCC: field)
