Re: Sending to a address book group
Hello Nick others on this TB! list following this thread, Monday, April 16, 2001, you asked : NA when I want to send a single message to all Members of NA this small Group, all I have to do is put the Group name in the To: field, NA and all will receive the letter? Probably. But I suggest doing the following: Right click on the To: field and select the list. You will notice that what youll see will be the code name given with the word list following. Typing in the short cut should also work Douglas NA On April 15, 2001, at 12:34:43 PM, Jan Rifkinson wrote: If I want to write to all of them I create a new msg address it to "BouvLists" which is the name of the group.

NA Jan, just so I understand the procedure for creating your own Mailing NA List: NA 1) I have 25 Members from my PGP-Basics Group who have offered to help out NA the Membership as a whole by offering to exchange encrypted messages. So, NA I have set up a new AB Group called "PGP-Basics Help Group". NA 2) Now, I have to make 25 separate entries in this Group, is that correct? NA 3) Once I do that, when I want to send a single message to all Members of NA this small Group, all I have to do is put the Group name in the To: field, NA and all will receive the letter? I don't have to have at least *one* NA actual (real) address in the To: field?

IOW, you don't ( in fact, shouldn't) create a duplicate entry just for this special group. Nick 3) Once I do that, when I want to send a single message to all Members of Nick this small Group, all I have to do is put the Group name in the To: field, Nick and all will receive the letter? I don't have to have at least *one* Nick actual (real) address in the To: field? Not precisely. You put the 'handle' in the To: field. Just to be extremely clear, what I do is as follows: I click on the down triangle next to the create new email icon. There I see the handle for all my AB groups + any individual names I have checked as favorites. I move my cursor down to the appropriate AB Group handle the menu expands to reveal "all entries" + the individual addresses in the group (in your case the 25 names if they are all marked as favorites). I don't believe they have to be checked off as favorites for this to work. Anyway, I click on (select) "all entries" instead of an individual name this inserts the AB Group handle in the To: field with list next to it. That's *all* you will see or *ever* see. If you write your msg send it, TB! must recognize an AB Group handle followed by "list" as an internal command to send email to every single name in the group individually. And it does as I have done it, though not with as many as 25 names but I don't know know that there is a limitation on this TB! "trick". Very cute, useful efficient but *extremely* discomforting because you don't see TB! do it so you have no assurance that its done. Even the msg in the 'Sent' folder appears as the list msg so there is no confirmation that this has happened except when you get responses from the folks you've posted. Just to be sure, I tried it again, addressing a test msg to three mail lists in one AB group using the instructions above before I replied to you it worked like a charm. I'll use the same method to apologize to the list members of those 3 lists.

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking about addressing a group of people by their AB or Group Name. I believe this is possible in TB!. In TB! one can create Group ABs as subsets of the main AB. Of course these groups have to have unique name. So I'll give you an example from my AB. I belong to 4 lists that deal with the Bouvier des Flandres. Because of that I created a group called BouvLists. In that group I placed all the 'post to' addresses of the 4 Bouvier mail lists. If I want to write to all of them I create a new msg address it to "BouvLists" which is the name of the group. TB!, as I understand it, will send the msg to all the names in the group, i.e. all the different Bouvier lists that I belong to. The confusing thing is you don't see all the addresses expanded in the To: address line.
