TO: (Self explainitory) Sent directly to that person (action)
CC: (Carbon Copy)  Relay the same information on to a second person (info)

1. Address the mail to yourself  (Everyone knows you anyway, they have your return address)

2. Select the (newly added) BCC button that appears after you selected BCC FIELD in the VIEW menu.
Choose each EMAIL address and select BCC instead of TO or CC
(selecting this option will hide all those names and email addresses that were marked to go BCC)
