Default How do I create an Outlook distribution list from an Excel column

I have a column in Excel of about 1600 e-mail addresses. I would like to put
each of these addresses in the BCC field of an Outlook 2003 e-mail. Since
I'm not running Exchange Server, I'm assuming this is the only way I can send
a mass e-mailing to our customers without the customers seeing other
customers' e-mail addresses. If it can be done by creating a distribution
list, that would be fine too.

Thank you.

if the addresses are in column A for example, try putting the formula =A1&";"
in the column next to it, copying that formula down the length of your data,
then copying the results onto your clipboard and pasting into the BCC field.
