How do I send an email to many people and only have the indivual listed in the TO line?
Can someone tell me how I can send an email to many recipients with only the name of the person who is receiving the email listed on their individual email, not the remaining individuals to whom the email was sent listed?

In the context of e-mail, blind carbon copy, abbreviated BCC, refers to the practice of sending a message to multiple recipients in such a way that what they receive does not contain the complete list of recipients.
Put the one person's address in the "To:" blank and the rest in the "BCC:" blank. The BCC is "Blind Carbon Copy" and will not show up to the main recipient.
There should be an option that says BCC that you can click on. That means Blind Carbon Copy. Then you put everyone's e-mail addresses on that line. CC is a carbon copy where everyone can see everyone else's e-mail addresses. Blind means they can't.
You have to have someone in the "TO" spot originally though so I typically send an e-mail TO myself and BCC it to everyone else.
