Subject: "To" field

Hi everybody,

We have a staff member asking about how many e-mail addresses that he
could put in the "TO" field or "CC" field. Is there any limitation on
that? Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No "practical" limit.  However, if they intend to put a large number of
recipients and a small message then they should be made aware that most
folks will find it annoying to have to page down the list to read the
message.  Best to investigate the Lcc: field in this case.

this brings me to the questions what's the difference between a "Bcc" and
a "Lcc" field?

The "Lcc:" will display a comment field.  The comment field may contain the
name of "list" rather than all of the people on the list.

The "Bcc:" field never gets displayed.  Also, on some systems if you send a
message with no To: or Cc: but only a Bcc: the originating MTA will cause
the names to be revealed.  Not nice..when you consider that "B" means
"Blind".
