notify contacts of change of e-mail address

[McMcKay]

I am dropping my earthlink account and changing my e-mail address for
the first time. Is there an easy way to send all contacts in my
Entourage address book notification of my change of address? Also, how
do I show only the contact to whom each individual is sent and hide
the rest my contacts?
This seems like a simple task, but I don't know how to do it.
Thanks for your help.

That's an easy one, once you know how. Create a new mail message
(File>New>Mail Message). You should now see the address pane which allows
you to enter your recipients' addresses. In the 'To' field, enter your own
e-mail address; then, click inside the address list (if you do not see the
address list, click on the tiny address book icon next to "Check Names") and
hit Cmd+A to select them all. Drag the selected contacts into the 'Bcc'
field. The purpose of the 'Bcc' field (Blind carbon copy) is to send the
message to recipients without others noticing it. In other words, if your
contacts receive that e-mail message, they will only see three e-mail
addresses in the e-mail header: your originating e-mail address, the e-mail
address you entered in the 'To' field (which may be identical to the
originating address) and their own e-mail address.

Hope this helps!
