I want to send an email to about 50 Companies applying for a job. Obviously I don’t want them to see that this is a mass email, so I was wondering if it possible to do this with Microsoft Outlook?
I tried it with a couple Professional Programs but they are all detected as Spam/Junk in the popular email servers so they are useless for job applications!
Thanks!

Don’t use the “To:” line for the recipients, use the “Bcc:”
Bcc: stands for blind carbon copy (from back in the day of typewriters), and the recipients’ addresses won’t show.

You need BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)
In Outlook 97 - 2003:
In the New Email (Untitled Message) window click on View, BCC Field. Put the address in there.
In Outlook 2007:
In the New Email (Untitled Message) window click on Options, Show BCC. Put the addresses in there.

Click on “To” - it will bring up your address list. Click on anyone you want and insert them into the “BCC” spot (Blind CC). Say OK and go back to your message. Now, you have the option to blind copy whoever you want and no one can see who it’s going to.
