The list is dynamic, parents change jobs (and email addresses), ISP’s, kids leave, new kids join. At the moment I have an Excel spreadsheet which I can cut and paste, but thats not a good solution as its a multiple step process. The Contacts app *should* do this but somebody at Apple decided to limit group contacts to a single email address.

Just setting it up manually the first time and then either copying and pasting that list or replying to the message won't do?

Or set up an AppleScript that has everyone's email in it.

(FWIW, this is exactly the kind of thing I would not want to receive multiple copies of, but my kids are old now. :-) )

Hi,

I manage a small kids rugby team in the UK. We have around 50 parents which give their contact details, most of them have multiple email addresses, e.g. a work one and a home one. We want to send emails to both their emails addresses with information about upcoming games. However Contacts/Mailmate on OS X El Capitan only allows a single email address to be associated with a user in a group contact. We have experimented with various options and come to the conclusion its not actually a MailMate problem but somebody in Apple deciding that users are only allowed a single primary address, regardless of how many working email addresses they have. Shades of 640KB will always be enough :)

Anyway, is there a solution in Mailmate that we’re not aware of, or would anybody have any recommendations for a Contacts program that works with MailMate AND allows us to have multiple contacts per user.

We know we can create multiple card entries in Contacts to get around the problem, but thats a dirty, tacky solution. We want to have a single entry with multiple emails addresses.

We can’t believe we are the only people who have this issue.

Any suggestions please?

Rob
