Hi!


I had to do a mass mailing, sending an announcement, to libraries in 
the US and abroad -- in all I had about 1000 or 2000 E-Mail addresses. 
 

In the past, I've done the mailing gradually over time, one by one.

This time I decided to try and use the BCC (blind carbon copy) feature 
of Eudora 1.5.2

For several weeks I played around with it...sending mail to my E-Mail 
lists of one- or two-hundred names.  All seemed to work perfectly!  
Each person received his/her own copy, without all the other addresses 
showing up.

Then, last night I decided to do the mass mailing to libraries.  I put 
all the library addresses in a nickname group, "libraries." 

I clicked "libraries" into the BCC field in nicknames, and everything 
appeared to be A-OK in the letter itself, with "libraries" correctly 
showing in the BCC field.

...And then I sent it.

Horror of horrors, I've just learned tdoay that ALL one- or 
two-thousand recipients got a four page list of co-recipients !!  I've 
been receiving angry mail all morning.  For good reason!

I am mortified.

I still do not know what went wrong.  I've looked at the letter I sent 
in my OUT box...everything looks perfect.  In my BCC:  field is the 
name  "libraries." In my TO: field is a name I arbitarily made up and 
enclosed in parentheses:

              TO: (Library Information)crw@loop.com


All the addresses that were supposed to be invisible in the BCC: field 
instead go put in the TO: field following the above.

I am puzzled.

I suspect that this is either a glitch with this version 1.55.2 of this 
shareware ... or it was caused by having too many names in the BCC:  
field ... or it was some sort of once-in-a-life-time fluke.

Anyone with an informed, or strong, opinion, please communicate!

Thanks!
