Hello Jim,
On Sunday, October 15, 2000 at 13:43:04 GMT -0400 (which was 10:43 AM
where I live) witnesses say Jim Steiner typed:

Ok, where did you define the list? Did you just create a contact with
all these addresses listed?
If you did, there is a better way. In your address book,
1. create a group (Edit -> Create group)
2. Give it a name and a handle. Deselect "Hide items if not
explicitly selected.
3. Now in the left hand side of the address book, you'll have a tree
structure. Expand the tree and select the top level.
4. From the right hand side, choose your contacts you want to add to
the group. Drag them to the group on the left hand side.
5. Now when you create a new message, type in the group's handle.
When you Tab out of the To: field, TB will expand the addresses to
handle <list>
Although it looks like TB will attempt to send to an invalid address,
the list is substituted before hitting your mail server. If you
include yourself in the group, you'll see what I mean.

Yep, there is. See above. I'll just reiterate that you should
include yourself in all groups. That way you'll see exactly what
everyone else sees. If you just look at the copy in your Sent folder,
"handle <list>" is not expanded to all the addresses. I think this is
so resending the message is more convenient.
