...sorry, i knew that my setup wasn't as complete
as it should've been.

...

for example:  

	i have the 100 users's email addys as 
	an alias in .muttrc.

	i send the same email to each of the 
	100 users by addressing it to myself
	and "bcc-ing" it to the 100 users. 
	
	what i've seen is that the 100 users'
	email addys are in the "resent-to" 
	header (like the attached, test
	email).  what i'm hoping is that 
	_each user_ doesn't have to see the
	other user's email addys, like what
	the "list" (deb-user) does--we get
	list emails without seeing who else
	gets them.

is this "bcc biz" the wrong approach?  

my predecessor used to send 3-page emails
in which the content was only maybe 4 
lines.  the rest was basically all email
addys.  what a waste and users made fun
of it.  (my brother's email jokes are like 
that, too.) 
	
help appreciated,

b.
