send to group but hide addresses ?
Hi. In my address book, I have lists of people to mail, and each list has a name. If I do not want all the addresses to be readable by each recipient, I could leave the To: box empty and type the list name into the bcc: box - but this then shows up as "undisclosed recipients" or similar to the readers. (I think I have that right, if I have read the support Addresing an e-mail correctly - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/addressing-email?esab=a&as=aaq).
But I would like to have the group name show, so that group members will know which group is being mailed, without having to read the e-mail. Is there a way of doing this, please ? (e.g. non-parametric stats group / forecasting group / &c.) The subject line is not always, or even often, sufficient guide.
Thanks for any help on this, adj

Update: I just tried the method I cited above from the "support - addressing e-mail" page, and clicking Write and then entering a group name was not accepted; nor did it work when I started from the address book, clicked the group name and made the group bcc - I got the response: "group name" is not a valid e-mail address" which must be of the form name@server.xxx
This sounds like a reported bug which was fixed in version 31.1.1 Are you using an up to date version of Thunderbird? 31.2.0 is the current version.

In the Write message make contacts sidebar visible View > contacts Sidebar or toggle view using f9 key.
choose Address Book all contacts and Mailing lists will be listed. select Mailing List click on 'Add to Bcc' button
recommend that you have at least one email address in a TO field even if it is your own. Some servers may think email is spam if there are no TO fields.
I created a Mailing List called Test. see image.
