Hi Jerry,

At Mar 26 you wrote about "Bc:" a.o.:

But that's just the point! If I want to send a message to more than one
recipient and I do not want the others to know that the message is a copy
(duh... paranoia!) I use blind copy.
If I do not care about others to know that the message is a copy, I use carbon copy.
The only disadvantage of carbon and blind copies is that the first entry in
your nodelist that matches the carbon copy will get the message. But an
aliaslist works great! Another option is to use the address instead of the
name. MsgEd will look up the names matching the address.

    Regards...
    Ronald
