In response to my question aboutn setting up an e-mail group that would
allow me to send mail by just typing the group name in the "to" field,
Marck Pearlstone replied with two suggestions:

"...create a local email address of (say) [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put
that in the To: field. I then put the recipient list into the BCC:
field. ..."

or

"... adapt Leif Gregory's "Using TB to run a mailing list" to suit?
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/mailing_lists.shtml";

Thanks for both suggestions.  The first one will accomplish what I want,
but isn't so elegant.  On the other hand, Leif's document is more
oriented towards creating a discussion group list. Although he suggests
using some of the filters to set up a distribution list, for my
purposes, this would require far more time than I have to put into this.
I know that both Lotus Notes and Outlook allow for e-mail groups to be
created very easily, without placing any addresses in the bcc field.
(Just creat a new group and add the addresses to the list in the
"create-a-group" box.)  Hopefully, the Bat will have that functionality
at some point. 

Again, thanks,
