Or use ImpEmail to compose a MailMerge message.

bcc is OK up to a point. However, I send emails to 45 members of a walking 
group. If I use bcc to do this I find that all messages sent to gmail 
users bounce. Presumably, if the words "think" and "gmail" go in the same 
sentence, gmail thinks that anything sent to so many recipients must be 
spam. ImpEmail, however, produces 45 separate emails.

Best wishes,

Peter.
