| | Can I display names without address in "to box" in Vista mail I really do not like sending e-mail addresses in my To line. I used to just use a nickname with the XP edition and would like to do the same with Vista. Is this possible? |

Whether the addressee can see the address depends on what email program they are using, not what email program you send email with. You might want to click on View in a new message box, then All Headers, then put the address on the Bcc: line instead. Then the email will still arrive, but if you send to more than person at a time, each addressee will get only his or her address attached to his or her copy of the message. |

Is this possible? switch it around so when you send and people receive the e-mail they only see your name, and not your address. Will help with anonymity also. Thanks Quote: > |

| | Re: Can I display names without address in "to box" in Vista mail What actually gets sent out is the same as what OE would have sent. The email addresses are always there; whether they get displayed or not to the recipient is up to the email program used by the recipient. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Denise" <mddavis@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eiRmjAiVIHA.3676@xxxxxx Quote: >I really do not like sending e-mail addresses in my To line.
