How to delete only ONE address in your web page history in Explorer

Question:
“Hi, my question is: how do you "suppress" a recipient list when sending an e-mail. I've noticed this on e-mail messages that come from organizations that likely have a long list of people they send to. I've tried searching out the answer through "help" but have been unsuccessful. Can you help?”

Answer:

It's all in how you address the email. I'll use Outlook Express as an example. Instead of typing the addresses into the <To:> box, use the left mouse button and single-click the little picture of a book to the left of the <Bcc:> box.

The <Select Recipients> screen opens. Down the left side of the screen you'll see all the entries in your address book, including any groups of addresses you may have created. Single-click the address or group you want to highlight it, and then single-click the <Bcc:> button. The address or group you just selected will appear in the <Bcc> box. Continue adding addresses or address groups until you're done, and then single-click the <OK> button.

Back at the <New Message> window, the addresses you selected appear in the <Bcc> address box. Don't add anything into the <To> box. Just write up your email and single-click on <Send>. When people open the mail they'll see <Undisclosed Recipient> instead of a list of the emails.

If you're using Netscape Messenger, you might wonder where the Bcc option is. Open a new message, and single-click the <To> option. A pop-up menu will appear and you can select <bcc> from there.
