You might also want to look at my Split Recipients script which does all this for you and also puts a "sent message" listing all the recipients (as if they had all gone at once) in your Sent Items folder, making it easy to do a Resend. It does BCCs without anyone being able to see the other BCC recipients. There's no setup at all unless you want to change the default of 50 maximum recipients to something else, which you do by running the PREFS script and changing 50 to whatever your ISP's list is, in a dialog box.
Or am I missing something that your script does, Allen? Did we both come up with scripts to do the same thing? -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
