The term "BCC" is commonly used by user support staff to explain the presence of envelope-recipient addresses which do not appear on the 'To:' line, because while most email users understand the term "BCC", most are not be familiar with the intricacies of SMTP. Nor should they need to be. Technically, the problem is not "too many BCC's", it is "too many envelope-recipients who are not listed on the 'To:' line", or maybe just "too many envelope-recipients", but in either case, the difference between AOL's description of the problem and my description of the problem is mostly a matter of semantics. (Is the wall pink or peach? It depends. Did you ask me or my wife?) The solution is not to argue over whether LISTSERV uses "BCC's"; it is to find out whether AOL can and will make an exception for messages from his list. -- Paul Russell Senior Systems Administrator University of Notre Dame
