How to send  BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)
I am a Netscapee so this is the Netscape Version.
If you use Outlook or another Email Program, and can't find this feature,

2. Select Addresses, and choose BCC instead of TO or CC
(selecting this option will hide all those names and email addresses that were marked to go BCC)

Here's Netscape's Mail Window:

Note the menu options at the top of the page under Message Composition

But they will only see your address, and the message will be cleaned up. Here's what a message
that you receive back looks like:
