Thanks for that Ronni. Mail.app in Leopard is what we are using.
I was hoping to somehow access the database that Mail.app uses. I
thought there might be an app that does this (since virus programs
seem to do it all the time :-)
But thanks anyway,
Regards,
Brett

Hi Brett,
Are you using Apple Mail & Address Book in Leopard or Snow Leopard?
If so:
You do need to put the individual addresses in Address Book. However
you don't have to go through all the fields.
I presume you have emails from these people in Mail. If so, you can
select an email from each recipient, right-click/control-click (on
the person's name/email address) to add the email address & name to
AB. When you have done this for each create a group in AB and drag
each name to it. You can then send the email to the group.
-------
If you are using Mail & Address Book in OSX10.4, 10.5, 10.6 you can
send Group Mail.
1. Basically you first make a "Group" in Address Book.
2. Place who you wish to notify into the Group.
3. Then drag the group name from the Address Panel to an address
field, or type the first few letters of the group's name and let
automatic address completion do the rest.
To ensure that recipients see neither each other's addresses nor a
bogus "To" address, enter the group name in the Bcc field instead of
To or Cc.
The "To" field in the message each recipient gets will say
"undisclosed-recipients":
If you want all the recipients to see each other's addresses, click
the group name in the address field and choose Expand Group from the
pop-up menu.
(To turn on automatic group expansion for all new messages, on the
Composing preference pane, select the checkbox labelled When Sending
to a Group, Show All Member Addresses.)
Netiquette: When sending email to a group of people, use Bcc (or
turn off automatic group expansion) to keep addresses private and
minimise scrolling for the recipients.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi all, I'm thinking of changing from Bigpond to TPG but my
"bigpond.net.au" email address is over 10 years old and I don't
want to lose contacts.
I am trying to get a nominal account which will let me keep this
active.
Does anyone know of an emailing program which will let you address
an email to everyone in your Mail.app database so you can do a bulk
mail out saying you have changed your email address?
T.I.A.
