I want to use mailx to send the same note to about 100 people. When I use
the "To: person_A person_B person_C" method, everyone gets a copy a page
long of who the message is being sent to. Is there a way to suppress this
long list to perhaps only the recipient??  I wrote a short script (a loop)
to mail to one person at-a-time that did the "trick", but obviously, this
is very expensive, resource-wise.

Anybody have any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
