Ben,

    If I may cut into your conversation? What do you mean "send it to the
list or BCC it to the list." This may help me with the dilemma of
automatically sending an e-mail to a large group without including the large
TO: list in the header. In some cases the sender does not want other
recipients to see who is on their group mailing list, not to mention the
header clutter you mentioned.

Thanks,
Richard
