Just use control-R to get your rich header, leave the To: field blank, and
put your distribution list in the Bcc: field. Simplicity, and it sounds a
little too obvious, I know. I ran into the same problem a few months ago,
posted almost word for word your question, and got a response of "Try it."
<GRIN> Hope this helps. What you'll get, by the way, if you do this, is
"recipients suppressed" or something like that in the To: field.

I AM BEING SPAMMED BY THE PINE-INFO GROUP. I HAVE TRIED FOR OVER 3
MONTHS TO GET OFF THE LIST. NOTHING HAS WORKED. PLEASE DON'T SEND ME ANY
MORE MESSAGES, BUT IF YOU KNOW WHO TO CONTACT OR HOW TO DO IT, JUST SEND
A MESSAGE TO WHOMEVER CAN REMOVE ME FROM THE LIST. MY MAILBOX HAS
CONTAINED OVER 4,000 MESSAGES AT ONE TIME. I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU WHAT
PROBLEMS THIS HAS CREATED. I never subscribed to the list, and they say
I'm not on it. Which is the way it ought to be, but they keep sending me
mail.

So if I'm not on the list, then I'm not sending you this message -
everything ought to be OK, huh?Subject:
