I'm sure there is a way how The Bat! can handle this more elegantly,
but here is a solution that works with any client: put your own
address in the TO: field and all other recipients into BCC.

You can just use BCC instead of the To: field for the list. You may still have to put your address in the To: field though.

sending e-mail to a group with only group name appearing in recipient's "to" field

Hi, everyone, 

I am on a committee of about 90 people.   I wanted to send an email to everyone 
in the group without everyone's e-mail address displaying in the "to" field 
when the message is received by the group members.  I created an address book 
and put everyone's e-mail address in the address book.  I then put the name of 
the address book in the "to" field.   The word "list" appeared at the end, in 
parenthesis.  I expected that that is how it would show up when received by the 
recipient.  My name was also in the list so I could see how the e-mail was 
received.   So, my copy had each and every one of the 90 e-mail addresses in 
the "to" field!!!What did I do wrong?   What can I do to ensure that the 
only the group name appears in the "to" field?
