It's a feature of Entourage and most other emailers, I expect. In Entourage, you can create a group of email addresses and give that list a name, say "colleagues". Entourage assigns your email address to the name of that list. If you now send a message "To: colleagues", the To: line in each message as received will either show "colleagues <your.email.address>" or the individual addresses of those folks included in your list. The choice of which is used is determined when setting up the group list. There's a box you can click labeled: "Don't show email addresses". If you click that, then the name of the group, and not the members of the group, are listed in the To: or Ccc: lines of the messages as received. If you put "colleagues" or the email addresses for any other names in the Bcc: line, Entourage will send those individuals a copy of your message that shows whatever is on the To: line or the Cc: line, but nothing that you included on the Bcc: line. That's why messages sent to folks listed on that line are referred to as "blind carbon copies." Does that help?
