Hi-
I once knew how to do this, but have forgotten. Can someone remind me? How
to list only the name of an address book list in the "to" line of the
header, without disclosing the entire list membership.I vauggely recall
something about ending the list name with a semicolon or a colon.

thanks, rivkah isseroff

When you have the cursor in the headers, press CTRL-R, and enter all the
addresses you don't want displayed in the Bcc: field.

Pine will do this automatically if you press ^R and put a distribution
list in the Lcc: field.  If you want to do it manually, just put some text
followed by a colon in the To: field.  Pine will then add a space and a
semicolon.  That's what I did on this message, so it has a To: field that
reads "All you wonderful people: ;".  I left pine-info in the Cc: field,
though, so as not to mess up anyone's filtering.

Put them in the Bcc or Lcc header.

After you do the above, the To: header may still need a sane value
like the Name of the list. This is typically some string followed by
": ;"

So a valid List name would be "Pine Discussion List: ;"

You can add this manually, or have Pine do it for you by setting your
string in the empty-header-message option in your Pine configuration.

Hope this helps,
Gopi.

I guess that doesn't work for sending mail to listprocs.  The list
processor removed my fancy To: field and put pine-info in the To: field.
Oh well.  :)
