Hi Jan,
On 03 November 2000 at 18:16:39 GMT -0500 (which was 23:16 where I
live) Jan Rifkinson wrote and made these points:

Yes, I've been following the thread but have not much to add to what
has been said.

I just did the same. The group was called "Tester" and had the handle
"test". It contained 3 members (myself and my partners, all local to
the LAN here, but that is immaterial).
JR> I address an email to the group.
I did that. The "To:" appeared as "test <list>".

Although it appears not to have done so, it does it perfectly well.

The proper way is to address the mail as being to "GroupHandle <list>"
JR> As an experiment, I created the following:
JR> Group = Jan Rifkinson
JR> handle = janrif
JR> Within the group:
JR> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
JR> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
JR> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
JR> [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You would address a mail to "janrif <list>" (no quotes). The mail
would retain that addressing syntax, even in the sent folder. The word
"list" in angle brackets is leterally a part of the required syntax.
The messages at destination would appear as "To: addr1, addr2, addr3,
addr4" where each of the "addrN" addresses would be of the full
"RealName" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> as held in the address book group.
The mail I just tested with worked perfectly as described.
I hope that is of some help.
