Send an Email to Undisclosed Recipients from Gmail

Whenever you want to send mail to a mass of people, you generally include all the email IDs in the TO: field of your email client. So, when a recipient receives this mail, he/she can see who all are the other recipients. But what if you do not wish to disclose recipients email addresses? Here is a trick to keep recipients' addresses undisclosed. I have used Gmail to test this trick, but it works with all other email clients.
 
To address a message in Gmail so that it goes to "undisclosed recipients" but arrives in all the real recipient's inboxes:
1. Click Compose Mail to start a new message.
2. Type your own email address  OR "Undisclosed Recipients <your email address>" (without double-quotes) in the To: field. 
3. Click Add Bcc.
4. Type the email addresses of all the intended recipients in the Bcc: field. Make sure you separate addresses by comma. If you write to same group of recipients frequently, you can make a mailing list.
5. Now type the subject and message, and finally click Send button.
 
That's all !!

Doesn't work. Some step has been left out.
