Uhm, JP? And have the To: header contain -allllll- those addresses?
Bad, bad idea.
I can't believe you just advocated that. I mean, I thought I'd seen
everything, but I'm gonna go check and see if Satan is snowblowing his
driveway...

Since I use Windows-based FPro I use Windows-based e-mail programs. In
this case I use Blat (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.blat.net/194/">http://www.blat.net/194/</a> ).<br>
<br>
Blat has an option that allows you to send BCC to a list defined in a
separate file.<br>
<br>
Set up Blat (or use the command line parameters for smtp server and
'from'address). Create the e-mail as a file. Create the file of e-mail
addresses to send to. Then run the command:<br>
Blat <e-mail_filename> -bf <filename_of_bcc_addresses>
-subject <subject_line><br>
<br>
Blat has many other options available if needed including sending
attachments, etc.<br>
