Hi gcc,

You are on the right lines, Bcc is the thing to use and it does go in the
header but if you look carefully at your code, yow will see you have also
included the body of the bcc list ($subs), as the first parameter of mail()
this is the To parameter and is always made visible in the mail message.

remove the To: line from your header construction and put it as the first
parameter to Mail() and you should be OK

I do hope you aren't writing a spamming program !

Cheers

Ron
