    When sending email to multiple recipients,how do I set Outlook Express to state in the "to" field "recipient list suppressed "?
    I am using IE6 and WinXP Home.
    When forewarding email I don't like others to know who sent me the message before I forwarded it to them.Thanks.

    Use the BCC field when sending.

    Since you apparently are typing in these addresses, just type them into the BCC field. You can put yourself in the To. BCC=blind carbon copy. The BCC addresses will not show up to the addressees..

    In your post you said you didn't want the people you were forwarding the message to, to know who sent it to you. If that is true, I don't think using the BCC is going to help you. The BCC is a 'blind copy' so that the people you are sending to cannot know WHO THE OTHERS are that you are also sending to, or sending a copy of the email to. If you want to keep the receivers from knowing who sent the list to you, then you have to edit the email, at the top, where it shows who sent it to you. I'm talking about the actual email you are forwarding to people.
