I have received the same suggestion from several people as well as requests for the answer, so here it is. To send a message to a distribution list without the whole list showing up on everybody's copy, use a construct like: To: abritrary-listname: listname; or To: arbitary-listname: <person>, <person>, <person> ...; The recipients will not see the text between the colon and the semi-colon. All they'll see is: To: arbitary-listname: ; This is actally a RFC-822 requirement. Sincerely, - Marshall D.
