I upgraded to BBDB3, reconfigured the customization, and then used the * C-u m key sequence in the BBDB buffer to broadcast the message to the email list. I appreciate the advice and help with BBDB. I really like the BBDB package and appreciate the work and improvements going into it. Thanks, marc -- -- Is your legacy SCM system holding you back?

It seems that Marc is using BBDB 2. I do not know about the latter. Marc, can you switch to BBDB 3?

Looks like if you give it a C-u prefix, it will use all of the mail addresses. If you're combining this with the * prefix to act on all the visible records, you've got to hit the * before the C-u prefix key.

Compose mail to everyone whose record is displayed, including all addresses in the net field?
Hi, Apologies if this is well documented, but I seem to be blind to the entries. I have bbdb entries with multiple addresses in the net field as a comma separated list of email addresses (see net: m...@gmail.com, d...@gmail.com below). The BBDB entries are often tagged as either a single family name or the name my kid's team members (See 'kid name' below from *BBDB* buffer). The net list field often has the email addresses of two separate parents. If I search the bbdb dB and create a list of matching tuples, can I then easily create an email which includes *all* of the entries (ie not just the first) from the net field for each BBDB tuple? kid name net: m...@gmail.com, d...@gmail.com AKA: family name mail-alias: soccer_team_name In the case above, if I have a list of 12 families, having used the mail-alias soccer_team_name, can I ensure that both m...@gmail.com and d...@gmail.com emails are included in that list when I use something like *m in the *BBDB* entry buffer? I would ideally like to list all email addresses in each BBDB tuple in the To: field of the email using one command on the *BBDB* buffer.
