[comp.mail.mh] bcc and hiding multiple alias recipients

Ton.Verschuren@surfnet.nl (06/21/91)

I looked into the archives of this group and found a discussion on hiding
multiple alias recipients. The solution that was proposed was:
   To: Any-Name:Your-Group-Name;
You could also use the bcc-mechanism to hide the addressees from each other.
I used the first solution a couple of times (works fine, except for the fact
that local users get To: Any-Name: ;@LOCAL, but this has to do with the
sendmail configuration, I guess).
When I was playing with filter and formats, I discovered in my mail directory
the following file, which should have been deleted by some program, but
apparently hasn't; it is called posta06608:

   Bcc: Blind Distribution List: ;
 
What happened is that the To: Any-Name:Your-Group-Name; header line is being
translated into the Bcc: Blind Distribution List: ; header line, at least
that's what I think...
 
Any comments on this?
