Wow, for reasons best known unto their deranged selves, the goons who foisted Offal Express upon the world hid the BCC option. Here's the relevant passage from the "help" files
To send an e-mail message
On the toolbar, click the New Mail button.

In the To and/or Cc boxes, type the e-mail name of each recipient, separating names with a comma or semicolon ( ; ).
To add e-mail names from the Address Book, click the book icon in the New Message window next to To, Cc, and Bcc, and then select names.

To use the Bcc box, click the View menu, and then select All Headers.


In the Subject box, type a message title.

Type your message, and then click the Send button on the New Message toolbar.

I hope that helps you, and I hope that using the most insecure, virus-friendly email client ever written, doesn't create too many problems for you.

AnaaS mentioned that My E-mail program has an option called "blind c/c,"

BCC in itself is an example of how usage shifts. I was always taught that it stood for Blind Carbon Copy, but now that e-mail has become so well established, BCC is now explained as Blind Courtesy, or Blind Complimentary, Copy. Saves having to explain to one's 5 year old what carbon paper was, I guess.

Sigh!
Dear Max, Thank you . I printed your reply and will try it out. I bought the McAfee system and all I ever get from them is scary alerts every other month that they can fix for $19.95. The original program came with a "two year free update" promise. HA! Even writing to their realmail address elicited no response and there is no "contact us" option. Argggghhhh. McAfee can go fry ice for all I care. So there! (Not you, dear Max, but them.)
wow

> Avy, you jest, eh?

Yes - Jazz inspired, but it is really quite possible those messages have found their way to computers at Dharmasthala or orther tibetan settlements here.

The Dalai Lama has a good sense of humour. I heard him speak once when I was a schoolgirl.
