Creating an E-Mail Group in Outlook Express:
If you regularly send the same message to several people, you may simplify this task by creating a group. To create a group, perform the following steps. A. Open Outlook Express, then tap Alt plus T to open the Tools Menu. B. Down Arrow to Address Book and then tap Enter or, use the Outlook Express hot key, Control plus shift plus B. C. Tap Alt plus F to open the Address Book file menu. D. Down arrow to New Group and then tap Enter or, use the Outlook Express hot key, control plus G. E. You now should be in the group name edit field. Type in the group name. F. Then Tab once to the Select members Button and tap enter. G. Tab three times to the address book list view. H. Use up or down arrow or tap the first letter of the contacts name to select the desired contact. I. Tap tab 3 times to move to the select button and then tap enter. J. Repeat steps I and J until you have selected all the names you would like to add to the group. K. After you have added all of the desired contacts, Tab to the Ok button and then tap Enter. L.

I could work on this myself of course but if somebody out there already might happen to have these instructions ready to go then I wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel so to speak.
