The latest (3.94) release of Pine includes a header labeled Lcc: which is
specifically designed to allow distribution to lists such that each
recipient sees only their own address on the mail. The procedure for
using Lcc: is as described below (except that I don't know whether an
entry in the To: field is also required).
To see the full list of headers, type ^R (ctrl-R) when your cursor is in
any header field. There may be setup and configuration options which fine
tune the performance of the Lcc: header.

1. Is it possible to use procmail to **send** e-mail to a long list of
recipients, AND have each header appear as if that recipient is the only

You don't say how long your list of recipients is, but some mailers
themselves (I know Pine, for one) have a Bcc: header feature which
might do what you want without even involving procmail at all (although
at present, Pine, at least -- I don't know about some others -- cannot
operate in batch mode). All you do is put a nickname, say, of the
recipient list in the Bcc: header field and put some dummy entry in the
To: field (that's very important!). Then each recipient will only see
his/her address in the incoming mail.
