Am very frustrated with windows 8 outlook.  Can't figure out how to send bcc e-mails.  In the past, that's practically all I used, as I don't like for everyone to see e-mail addresses.

Original title: trying to do a group send in the BCC field in Windows Live Mail. Used to work. but recently quit working. Why?? Is MS doing anything to fix this??I'm not the only one.

 

I am using the latest version of Live Mail. 

I create the "category" which is the group distribution list. 

Now we create an email, or forward an email, and type the category name into the BCC field.

when I click on send, the curser goes to the TO field , and gives me an error message that I need to type a name into the field to be able to send.

Is Microsoft aware of this problem, and why don't they fix it!!!

I need a solution!!!

NOTE: this used to work fine, but it would appear an update to some FILE has killed this feature of Live Mail 2012.
I would like to be able to personalize a holiday card in a small email blast by having the persons name and email address show in either the to or bcc field -is this possible?  I am using Outlook for MAC 2011.  I have tried to BCC a list and it shows to and from the sender.
