It is important that thier names be on the To > field. If you didn't want to use mailing list software, just your own mailer, you could put your own address in the TO field for BCC'd messages. e.g. To: "Dotan's list recipients" <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx> That sort of thing, done with some thought, usually explains away some of the surprise some people get when receiving BCC'd mail. Of course, if you use a mailing list program, some of them won't use the recipient's name in the TO field, either. They'll work rather like my suggestion. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
