If I receive an email that says "Undisclosed Recipients" or someone else's email address in the "To" field, and my address is nowhere to be found, I know that I'm dealing with, 1. A spammer 2. A rank newbie 3. Someone who just doesn't care enough to learn about what they're doing, and to do it right.
In either case, their email is going to my trash can, and they're not getting any business (or eyeball time) from me.
And they might even get blacklisted in my Eudora spam filter.

Using BCC is not only more than likedly to get caught by a spam filter, as R'twick rightly pointed out, but more importantly it is plain Unprofessional!
If you want results from your email marketing (consider every email you send as your marketing messenger) - you don't want to come across as unprofessional and amateurish!
If you have an online business, then the only way to go is to send personalized email, to each and every one of your recipients, with their first name somewhere in the email - preferably in the subject as well as the greeting.

Hi Steve
as John already pointed out, putting the addresses in Bcc instead of Cc wil hide them
form being seen by the receipients.
However, some spam filters may treat this as spam (as mine does) when the receiving
address is not in To or Cc field.
