Is there any way to have outgoing emails show name only in the out box. Do
not wish to disclose full emails when sending mail to multiple recipients

New to Vista and have not been able to find answer to this question.

(standard reply)

Windows Mail will show both the contact name & the
contact email address. You can't change that.

If you send to multiple recipients, and don't want them to see each other's
email address, use the BCC: field. If you don't see the BCC field, in the
compose window, click on View - Show All Headers.

Well, guess that means that I will have to switch to another mail service as
I don't like this.

Thanks..

Windows Mail is a program, not a service.
All email programs will let the recipient see the other recipients email
addresses, unless you use the BCC: field.
If you used another email program that only showed YOU the name, not the
email address, the address was still visible to the recipients if you used
the To: or CC: fields.

Use BCC

No, the OP does not want recipients' addresses appear in the TO field, just
names.
BCC was suggested to the Op. Somehow, for reason beyond my understanding, he
does not like the idea either.
