How to Mail an Undisclosed Email List
Normally, when you email multiple people, everyone can see -- and reply to -- everyone else. If you want to send an email so that the recipients are not disclosed -- so no one knows who else was emailed -- you can do this using the "Blind Carbon Copy" or "BCC" function. Every email program has this feature.

1
Compose your email as you normally would, using your email program.

2
Enter your recipients in the "BCC" field, instead of the "To" field. Recipients will see their own addresses in the BCC field, but none of the others.

3
Enter your own email address in the "To" field. You cannot send an email using only the "BCC" field, so you must have at least one "main" recipient. A standard approach is to yourself as the main recipient, although you could use some other address. However, remember that any address you enter in the "To" field will be visible to everyone.
