SYMPTOMS
You cannot use the Bcc (blind carbon copy) field to send messages in Entourage.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, address the message to yourself and to a specially configured address group. To do this:

NOTE: These steps assume that all of the intended message recipients, including yourself, are added as Contacts in your Entourage Address book.
 * 1) On the File menu, click New, and then click Group.
 * 2) In the Group Name box, type a name for the group, and then add all the recipients that you want to blind carbon copy to the group.
 * 3) Click to select the Don't show addresses when sending to group check box.
 * 4) Click Save and close the group.

When you address the message, enter your e-mail address in the To field and the name of the group that you created in the Bcc field.



MORE INFORMATION
When you send a message by using the Bcc field, it is possible that some Internet mail servers may place these recipients in the To field of the message, thereby defeating the purpose of a blind carbon copy message.
