Simple E-Mail Client

I use Thunderbird for my personal e-mail.  I am involved in my homeowner association .  We are using Yahoo Mail.   I want to be able to send an e-mail to 195 people, which will show up  to each of them as undisclosed recipients. But I want to be able to do this by entering  one ( 1)  group name in the  send to:  ( I realize I have to set this up  first )

I do not want to use Thunderbird, even with a separate profile.   I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. 

Thanks

Lew

As far as I know GMAIL will do this using the BCC field.

Not sure what the limit on the number of email addresses is though.

Update - found this on limits http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=22839

Thanks Carol, but we already have a YAHOO email account set up and in use for the association.  I need a simple e-mail client to use with YAHOO mail

Be careful when using a lot of BCC addresses. First-time spammers love to do that. Many servers will assume it's junkmail and automatically dump it if there are too many BCCs.

There was some discussion about that issue in this thread:

You don't necessarily have to use Yahoo to send your messages.

You can send from any email account you're allowed to send from.

When you send, just set the association's Yahoo email account as the return or "reply to" address in your email client and you should be all set. That way, any replies get sent back to the regular association inbox.
