Hide names and addresses in a personal distribution list

Hide names and addresses in a personal distribution list

To keep the names and e-mail addresses of people included on a personal distribution list private, or hidden, use the Bcc field.

Notes: 

  • It's not possible to display the distribution list name in the To box without allowing recipients to expand it and show the entire list of names and e-mail addresses.

  • The following procedure will use the sender's name/address in the To box and the distribution list will be kept hidden in the Bcc box.

Add the Bcc box to your email if it isn't there already

  • In an open message, on the Message Options or Options tab, in the Fields or Show Fields group, click Show Bcc or Bcc.
