I just tried this with Entourage. It won't work; Entourage dims the "Send
Now" button if you move out of the To: field. I've tried several variations
(enclosing in <> and so on), and nothing I can find will work. Apparently,
Entourage insists on a valid E-mail address in the To: field. So, it looks
as though the only thing one can do is address the mail to oneself, with all
the hidden recipients in the BCC field. (Maybe this alone would be worth
getting a Hotmail account that you never check; just send all your bulk mail
to a black hole address. Just kidding!)
Incidentally, out of curiosity I tried this in Eudora. Eudora will allow it.
I sent a message BCC'd to myself, with "To undisclosed recipients:;" in the
To: field. It came through just fine. BTW, Entourage did not mark it as junk
mail, either.
