Glenn,
What you wrote about is "mailing list" capability in my lexicon, rather
than what passes for an address book on the Hotlist. However, you have
given me a way to use nicknames or first names or designators to set up
a number of "one entry only" "address books" that will fill in the blank
for forwarding, CC, etc. It's going to be a royal pain, but it beats
being able to "bingo" e-dresses only into blank "compose" mail editor.
Why can't the addresses on the hotlist be set up to do that
automatically???
Oh well, just one more workaround ... just one of those minor little
annoyances that shouldn't even bother me.
l.d.
