Yes you can use Netscape or MS outlook. Just put all the email addresses in the BCC field. But IMO the mailing will take a lot of time depending on your connection, atleast 30-40 minutes and the SMTP server might consider it spamming also.

It's better if you change your mailing list script to something more realiable and better. Check out hotscripts.com for the scripts. Personally I recommend Mojo Mail (http://mojo.skazat.com)/

It's been ages since I used outlook but I think when you are writing a new mail there is some option in the menu which enables BCC field. Look around you will find it.

Somebody who is familiar with Outlook wants to help out?

Yes. OE has bcc, prolly NS too. There must be an option to toggle the field on/off. (Don't use any of them so I can't check where it is - but I know it's there.)
