I was reading the discussion group and your response to one of the
Threads about a mailing list.  I did what you said about Rich Hdr--Fcc the
people--Rich Hdr off.  But what was the other way?  I didn't really
understand how not to expand the list.  Please let me know.  Thanks!
Please e-mail me directly with response.

How do I send a message to multiple recipients without showing all
their names?
   In Pine's message composer, with the cursor in the message headers
   area, press Ctrl-R ("rich headers"). Then read the context-sensitive
   help screens for the Bcc: and Lcc: fields.

Lists in the Address Book
   Pine allows you to create distribution list entries in the address
   book. These list entries usually contain two or more addresses,
   which can be either complete email addresses, or nicknames defined
						    ^^^^^^^^^
   elsewhere in the Address Book. In the example at the top of this
   page, the distribution list named 1996 Conference Panel contains -
	     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   in addition to three "fully qualified" email addresses -- the
   nickname Ross, which is defined in the first entry of that Address
   Book. You can use an address book list entry to manage a small
   distribution list. When sending out a message, you just enter the
   nickname of the list in the To:, Cc: or Bcc: fields, and Pine
   fills in all the addresses on the list.

Rich Headers Command
   Normally, Pine just shows you four header fields to fill out --
   To:, Cc:, Attchmnt:, and Subject:. There are others -- Bcc:, Fcc:,
   Lcc:, Newsgroups: and possibly custom headers you have defined in
   your personal configuration -- which are also available but not
   usually shown. When you press Ctrl-R in the message header, you can
   see and edit these hidden fields.
   Bcc stands for blind carbon copy. Addresses listed in this field
   receive a copy of the message, but are not visible to any of its
   recipients, including even those who received the blind carbon
   copy.  (If you enter addresses both in the To: and the Bcc: fields,
   this can cause confusion among the Bcc recipients, who may think
   they accidentally received a message intended for someone else --
   the addresses they see in the To: field -- and then forward it to
   them, so use this feature with discretion.)
   New in Pine version 3.92 is the Lcc (List Carbon Copy) field, which
   combines the functions of the To: and Bcc: fields. It allows you to
   select a list of addresses from your addressbook and shows the name
   of the list -- but not the individual addresses in the list -- in
   the message's To: field, while delivering a copy of the message to
   each address on the list.

For a MAN!!!, you're showing a considerable amount of ignorance when
it comes to reading the FAQ.

Cheers,
Robin
