This is a re-write of a previous post, that didn’t get resolved. I’m 
restating it here to get a fresh start / better response.   Also, please note 
that I’m not very technically savvy, so if there is a solve for this, please 
advise me in very plain language.  Thanks in advance.

Scenario:  I'm a new user of Outlook 2007. Say I have a large group of 
clients. I want to create a boilerplate email for, that goes out to all the 
recipients. However, I want each email sent to be received by a single 
client, and at the same time not have that client be aware of the other 
clients (It’s a confidentiality issue). In the previous responses to my 
similar question, I was told to put the addresses in the Bcc: section. That 
didn’t work, as all the email addresses show up in the recipients email. 
Restated, how do I accomplish sending out a one mass email, that get received 
by only each recipient, without referencing (anywhere in the email) the other 
recipients?

The answer you received was correct. Your claim is not. No recipient can 
ever see anything you place in the BCC field.
Another way to accomplish this would be to use a mail merge to electronic 
mail. You can read about mail merges in the Help Files and several online 
sites such as:

In the interest of clarity for this thread, I wanted to explain further what 
happened in my test of the first advice I received. And thanks, for your 
suggested reference on merges. When I went to test the Bcc:ing I sent an 
email to myself w/ 2 Bcc:'s. When I opened my email, of course, the 2 Bcc:'s 
showed up, which defeated my purpose of confidentiality (thinking that would 
happen w/ all recipients). I figured out that the original suggestion was to 
put addresses in the Bcc: section only, which wasn't stated clearly. Your 
saying that "your claim is not correct" isn't helpful. I think, the fact that 
I'm new to this discussion group and new to Outlook, plus my clear indication 
that I'm a novice, should be sufficient for your not making a statement like 
that, which basically is another way of saying I'm not being truthful. 
Fortunately, I'm not that sensitive. Mainly, I want to say this to you 
because that type of remark discourages others from posting, in my view. I 
find the sight very useful and would like it to be equally useful for other. 
Anyway, please take this as a suggestion on how to remark to others.

As a final remark, I think your response should have read "No recipient can  
ever see anything you place in the BCC field, EXCEPT WHEN THE RECIPIENT IS 
YOURSELF." I think that would be a correct statement.

Might want to take a moment to learn how newsgroups work, then.
You posted no information that would permit anyone to guess how or why you 
arrived at the wrong conclusion. Nor was that germane to your question.
What was important is that you receive a prompt and clear statement of fact 
that the conclusion you drew was wrong, not only for your benefit but more 
importantly for others reading the thread who might be misled by your 
statement.
That's what you got. That's what you should expect to get from volunteers 
who answer your questions on their own free time. We don't have the time to 
guess what you don't tell us. Equating telling you you drew the wrong 
conclusion with accusing you of being dishonest mystifies me. If your 
feelings get hurt that easily, you might want to consider using paid support 
instead of newsgroups. They have lots of time there and are paid to walk you 
through things step by step.
