How can I Bcc: a message to a mailing list? I want to send a "press
release" but don't want the recipients to see the other people who are
on the list since it contains client information.
If I create a list and in the address book window use the compose button
the list names are added to the To: list. If however I compose a message
and enter the list name in a Bcc: then the list members are not added to
the message and message fails to send.
That should work the same as it does in Thunderbird. Enter the name of
the distribution list with Bcc. But also have a To address, your own.
Many E-mail systems -- yours or the recipients' hosts, not Thunderbird
-- reject messages with only Bcc addresses. Other systems might reject
messages with more than a small number of Bcc addresses.
It doesn't appear to work as you describe. I haven't tried with
Thunderbird.
If I enter the name of the mailing list in the seamonkey compose window
SeaMonkey sees it as an improper email address (it doesn't have a
domain) and won't send it and doesn't pull in the names in the list.
If however I open the address book window and highlight the list then
click "compose" the addresses in the list are entered into the message
as To: addresses, I see no way to make them Bcc except by changing each one.
Have you tried entering only the first few characters of the mailing
list name? In Thunderbird when I do that, I get a selection list from
which I can choose the mailing list.
I have now figured out my profile is somehow corrupted. It works as
expected using a new clean profile.
