How can I leave the To: blank and just use BCC?
B. Lester
the TO: blank and put all my email addresses in the BCC: so that no
email addresses were shared when I sent the same information to seveal
people. I don't seem to be able to do this in Entourage X. Any
ideas?
Dan Vendel
Send it to your self, then.
BCC the others.

out to those names on the bcc list.

Put them in a group, and check the "Don't display recipients" box in the
group window. Then Entourage actually does send it to them as BCC.
Otherwise, just put your own address in the To field.

What I had in mind are not groups, but just selected people I want to
send to at that moment, so I don't want to create a group in most
cases (I do us groups for groups of people I need to send regular
messages to). I had been using the other suggestion of mailing it to
myself, but this just means I get more mail and have to delete it. I
was hoping Entourage had a more elegant solution like Apple Mail.
Thanks for your help.

Bill, creating the dummy recipient as I described in my response will
bounce it back to you as undeliverable -- you'll still have to delete
that when it comes back. I'm easy with that but it sounds like you
might not be.

Send to a dummy address you create, then create a rule:
From contains dummy address
Add Action Delete Message
FWIW, Entourage is following protocol.
