This drives me up a wall too. If it's a legitimate send to a group, I'll address the message to myself and put the group name in the BCC field (with my mailer's preference set to NOT display individual names within the group). Trying to explain others how to do this, though, can be very hard on the brain...

Explaining that BCC = Blind Carbon Copy? (Okay, I think in the technology age that has been changed to Blind Courtesy Copy). What do they think that Blind means anyway?
I am glad that I have never had to explain that. I thought that it was just a KNOWN.
There are some poorly written mailers and forwarders that will actually list all of the email addresses found in the BCC field in an extended header. Unless one exposes the full header information to read all of that, one wouldn't realize this exposure might be going on.
That's why I set my Mail.app preference to not expose the email addresses in a group. Mail.app will actually send to everyone with my name as the "sent to" and only their name in either the BCC or CC field and no one else's. If I forget to set this preference, some mail forwarders will send messages with all addresses in the BCC field, which is what I'm trying to avoid.
