Hello!
You can have the recipients' addresses suppressed if you edit the settings of the respective Distribution list. Follow these steps:
(1) Open the Distribution lists window, go to the distribution list in question.
(2) Press the "Settings..."-button.
(3) You will find a section titled "List address settings". Amongst others, you can define what the "To:"-entry should look like.
(4) Enter a valid entry there. "valid" means that the entry may have both a short list description (similar to a real name often given in e-mail addresses) and a valid e-mail address (preferably your own one).
(5) Do not forget to press "OK" in order to save the changes.
The main idea of that concept is that the recipients will see the entry you typed in in step (4) - they will not see each others' addresses anymore then.
Some thoughts about step (4):
The entry you may type in there should look similar to the e-mail addresses you enter otherwise. An example: your personal e-mail address entry may look like this:
"Bob Mulder" <bob_mulder@invalid.ocm>
so it contains both your real name (within the quotes) and the actual e-mail address (in brackets). In other words: you have both a human-readable value (what is written within the quotes) and an addressing value (what is written between the brackets). That structure should also be used when you type in an entry for set (4). Such an entry may be:
"Invitation to my birthday" <bob_mulder@invalid.ocm>
In this case, the human-readable part is obviously not a real name, but a short description of the distribution list (here: the people you want to invite to your birthday party). The addressing value is simply your own e-mail address - the recipients know it, of course, so it will do no harm using your own address there.
The help page "Distribution list options" says about that option (the "To:"-value you can define for a Distribution list):
To field (suppressing the list of recipients): Entering an address in this field will force Pegasus Mail to suppress the listing of all the recipients' addresseses in the To: field when you use the list. Instead of showing every member of the list, the To: field will contain only what you enter here. Because of the way Internet mail works, you cannot simply enter any piece of text in this field -- you must enter something which can be legally processed as if it were an address. We recommend that you use the following format to create the contents of this field:
"(descriptive text)" <(your own address)>
Replace (descriptive text) with a meaningful name for the mailing list, and put your own address where it says (your own address). Recipients will almost always see the descriptive text instead of your address so it will not seem as strange as it sounds. The quote characters around (descriptive text) and the angle bracket characters around (your own address) are vitally important and must be included exactly as shown. It is not possible to suppress the recipient list for MHS mail and this field will be ignored for MHS messages.
