Using the 'Bcc' function to send emails

Hi, when I send emails to people in outlook express using the 'Bcc' function, all the people receive the emails but at the top of their emails where it says who its to, it says 'address.invalid' could anyone please tell me how to fix this, any help would be appreciated, thank you

 

That's because if you only have addresses in the BCC field there isn't a To: address. If you want to get rid of the message, you'll need to put an address in the To: field. Your own for example.

 

hi, thank you for your reply, i've taken your advice and put my own email address in the 'To' field and then i put other email addresses in the 'Bcc' field and when these other people receive the emails it says in their emails at the 'To' field my email address, any help please? (obviously the 'From' field shows my email address also)

 

hi pete, thanks for your response, i'm not sure i understand 100% what you have said, sorry!!! however the other person who replied to my post, i have tryed this on his advice, your commments would be appreciated...............i've put my own email address in the 'To' field and then i put other email addresses in the 'Bcc' field and when these other people receive the emails it says in their emails at the 'To' field my email address, any help please? (obviously the 'From' field shows my email address also)

 

hi pete, thank you, yes your email is perfect, shows - from peter clark and to undisclosed recipient

i have just sent you an email with my email address in the to field and your address in the Bcc field, so you can see what it is like, i've also just downloaded outlook 2003 trial version and i'll send you an email from their, maybe that will show something different compared to outlook express

thank you once again for your help

hi pete, yes thank you, i've done as you said, i've sent the email to 3 email addresses and 2 of them who use outlook say it just says undisclosed recipient, so thats great, but one of them who does not use outlook, it says this in the To field

Undisclosed Recipient <shows in these arrows my email address>

i'll just confirm what i've done, in the JPG attachment you sent me, that info went in the To box and the 3 email addresses went in the Bcc box

 

hi pete, well thank you for all your time and help with the above, at least now i know how to do that!

if i can just bug you for one final question please, not sure if this is your area, when i receive emails from companies, in the To field it says my email address, obviously these companies don't send emails to each email address individually, they must send alot of emails all in one go, so does outlook express or even outlook 2003 or outlook 2007 have the facility where i can send let say 10 emails to 10 email addresses all in one go and each of those 10 emails that people receive, it will just say in their To field just their email address and no other email address, if none of the outlook programs have that facility, is their another program you know of?

sorry to disturb you again!!!

 

hi pete, thanks for the info, i'll do a new thread soon and thanks again for your help with the Bcc, kind regards Doron

You can't use the BCC field to do as Doron wants, but I think the solution is to use a Mail merge.
