RE: Distribution List

[David Griffith]

I do not know about step by step as I have only just learnt this  . But I
will have a go.
This is from memory and remember  I am using Lion, instructions for snow
leopard may be different especially in selecting contacts which is much more
complicated as I understand it.
1   In mail make sure that all the addresses you need have been added to
address book. The easiest way to do this is to press Command shift Y on a
email you have received in the in box.
If you need to add an address for a person you have sent emails to but have
not received then go to sent mailbox and press command shift Y  on the
address of the message you have sent.
3. close mail.
4. Open address book.
5. Navigate to contact list table. You will hear voiceover say table.
Interact to open up this table.
6. VO cursor down the table and then press VO plus command plus spacebar to
select each  address  you need. Voiceover will say added to selection and
give the number of items selected..
7. Press command c to copy all the selected contacts.
8. create a  new group. I think this is command shift N but you will find
this command in the file menu.
9. Give a name to the untitled group. I cannot remember if you need to press
return to do this but Voiceover will say untitled edit text when you are
able to type in. If it does not say edit text ;you will need to press return
on it to edit it. Press return again to confirm name change.
10. Now VO right arrow across to the new group table . Interact with this
and then press command v to paste all the contacts you have copied into this
new group.
Stop interacting  with the table and I think from memory that is pretty much
it. I do not remember if there is an ok button but you can cursor down to
investigate. 
11. Now close address book.
12 Open up mail. Create a new mail message,
13. type in your new group name and press enter. Mail will remove the group
name and instead populate the to edit box with the individual email
addresses of  the contacts in the group.
Hope that helps but you may need a little trial and error to get it to work.
It is accessible and does work however so persevere and it will become
second nature with practice.

Re: Distribution List and EBlasts

[Sarah Alawami]

Acutally it's a way to send EBlasts. you create your distribution list in the 
address book and it parses out the thing in the too field so each name is a 
seprate message. I don't know what scussy mail is but I assume it does the same 
thing.

It is donation ware serial mail is and for any amount you get a key. and the 
dev is wonderful to work with.

Take care.

 There are some options specifically for distribution lists which you can

Re: Distribution List

[Sarah Alawami]

I would just use serial mail as some ISPs will trigger a spam when you try and 
send to more then x number of people. Serial mail will parse out the group and 
put the people in to there separate to field. No spam and I managed to send to 
about 30 people a week using this method.


I do have to say that the group creating is now a lot easier in lion then it 
ever was in snl.
Take care.

Yeah copy and paste works just fine. I did  this with about 70 entries I'll be 
EBlasting in a few months time. It was flawless.

Re: distribution list

[Lovette Yewchan]

Hi I mean I have a list of emails on m y old pc that are part of a blind 
parents group. I use to be able to just type blindparents and all the people in 
that list could be sent an email.
I want to do the same on the mac.
So that I can send out announcements to that group.

RE: distribution list

[David Griffith]

I have not tried this but found the following on the web. Predictably it
involves drag and drop which I have found to be very inconsistent in Lion,
sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I think this is because both
windows must be visible but I  know of no way of ensuring windows are
visible without sight.
You could try copy and paste as an alternative.
Beginning of quotation  from
http://newmacuser.com/reader-question-how-do-i-make-a-distribution-list-in-m
ail/
I received a question from a reader today asking me how to set up a
distribution list like he had on his Windows machine with Outlook. My
response to his was this:

Make sure that you have an Address card in Address Book for each of the
people you want on the list. 
Create a New Group by selecting the "+" button under the Group area. 
Name the Group like you did in Outlook. 
>From your Address Book entries Drag and Drop the names of the people you
want in the Group to the group name. 
Now open up Mail and in the "TO:" Field type the name of the Group you
created. 
Type your e-mail and Press Send.

Re: distribution list

[Mr. L. Alexander]

if you mean, running a mail to multiple users, mail automatically has your used 
email addresses on call from address book and it's inbuilt mail repository.

simply CC to others if I remember rightly. ok that's what I do lol.

You don't. you do it in the address book and use a program like serial mail to 
send it off.

good luck.
