 Well, you could try that.
It will be returned as undeliverable. ;-)

 It will work in most SMTP programs with only a BCC line.

And in those programs where BCC works correctly, none of the recipients
will have a To: line.

I'll send a different copy of this message using Linux NS.
-To:
-Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We will each receive a copy, but the only place even our own address
will show is in this section of the headers......
