I've received a big load of emails. I want to answer them all with the same message without the recipients knowing of the other receivers. Any recommendations on how to achieve this?

The quickest way I can think of is an outlook vba macro, provided you don't mind Outlook throwing a bit of a tantrum that you're automating it - it'll warn you that it might be a virus.
Something like the following
Public Sub test()
Dim ns As NameSpace
Set ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Dim outlookFolder As Object, innerFolder As MAPIFolder
Set outlookFolder = ns.Folders("Mailbox - Your mailbox name")
Debug.Print outlookFolder.Name
Set innerFolder = outlookFolder.Folders("Inbox")
Debug.Print vbTab & innerFolder.Name
Dim emailItem As MailItem
For Each emailItem In innerFolder.Items
If emailItem.Subject = "Test" Then
Dim replyEmail As MailItem
Set replyEmail = emailItem.Reply
replyEmail.Body = "Test 2"
replyEmail.Display
replyEmail.Send
End If
Next it
End Sub
So for the above, for each email it finds in your inbox with the subject "Test", it'll send a reply to the original sender with the body "Test 2".

Use bcc (blind carbon copy). Add all the recipients to that field and they won't know about all the other people you've also sent the mail to.
@alex exactly what i was gonna say – admintech – 2009-09-21T08:41:11.883
That forces me to put them in my address book which I want to avoid if possible. – Felix Andersen – 2009-09-21T08:52:24.967
No, just copy/paste their addresses from the incoming emails into the BCC field... – Wim ten Brink – 2009-09-21T08:55:49.483
Yes, but the amount of emails I want to answer makes manual copy/paste for every address a tremendous and tiresome task. – Felix Andersen – 2009-09-21T09:03:38.627
I don't think you can do it any other way in Outlook. In Lotus Notes, for instance, you can choose a bunch of emails from different people and press Reply to all; that way, the To field is automatically filled from all the selected emails. In Outlook such a thing is not possible. – alex – 2009-09-21T09:13:28.387
