Dear List, To add to Maria's suggestion, should one wish to send to everyone in your address list who has email addresses, at the to field, select the address list and at the last name field, in stead of entering a surname, just press enter and all records in your address list will be selected. You will be prompted, send to all selected records.

On all the records you want to be part of a group, make a common field, such as putting in the same title for each "Title" field of the records in your group. Then, when writing an e-mail, at the "Send To?" prompt, press [BACKSPACE with L], [CONTROL with L] to look up records in KeyList. At the "Selection List for Address List" prompt, scroll down to the field in which you've written the common info for all in the group, and type in the appropriate info, then press ENTER to accept. You'll be told how many records were selected and asked if you wish to send to all selected records; you can answer yes, or answer no, and then browse through the records with the standard Move by Paragraph commands, pressing ENTER to select the records you wish. If you answered yes to send to all records which matched the look up, you'll be returned to the e-mail headers when all the names and e-mail addresses of the group have been entered, at which point you can proceed with writing your e-mail; if you answered no, you have to exit the look up by pressing [SPACE with E], [ESCAPE] after you've finished selecting, and you will then be returned to the headers to continue writing the e-mail.
