Define 'an inordinate amount' We're talking about a manually managed list, so it's small per definition. How big are your messages, what's your connectivity, how many recipients, how often do you mail them. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits.

cc vs bcc screwup
I recently messed up and sent out a newsletter using a group list in cc versus bcc. Took _so_ much care in preparing and testing, only to screw-up with the final version. Feel REALLY stupid. Any suggestions or tricks (besides BE MORE CAREFUL IDIOT) that can help prevent this in the future?

I did that plus the other suggestion posted regarding templates. It would be nice if headers could be hidden on a per account (or folder) basis. Another helpful feature would be a configurable confirmation to prompt the sender if there were more than x number of recipients in the To or CC fields. It's no excuse for my screwup, but this is not that unusual of a mistake. jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
