I have just managed to set up my first distribution list with address book and Mail. There are some options specifically for distribution lists which you can bring up in address book when you bring up the context menu so the concept of distribution is definitely a Mac as well as a Windows one. two hurdles I encountered when I did this war firstly that navigating the between the group , seemed difficult despite tabbing and interacting. I eventually closed Address book and was then able to find the table of group I had created to paste the contacts in. The new ease of non contiguous item selection in Lion proved very useful here. Not having to mess around with cursor tracking was a bonus. Secondly initially, the distribution list appeared not to work. What I did was set up the distribution list in address Book and then elect email from the context menu on the group. This would not work. What I found in my case was that I had to close both address book and mail. However on opening mail again I was then able to type in the group name into the to edit box and mail dutifully added all the maims from the address book. So what happened was I typed LVFMC which was my group name and pressed enter. Mail then populated the to edit boxes with all the necessary addresses. It may be that it will now work from Address Book and that mail has to restart to find the group set up by address book before all is smooth. . Thanks to the lister who posted this question as it has prompted me to sort it out for myself. David Griffith
