If I understand your question correctly, you are asking about
addressing a group of people by their AB or Group Name. I believe
this is possible in TB!.
In TB! one can create Group ABs as subsets of the main AB. Of
course these groups have to have unique name. So I'll give you an
example from my AB.
I belong to 4 lists that deal with the Bouvier des Flandres.
Because of that I created a group called BouvLists. In that group
I placed all the 'post to' addresses of the 4 Bouvier mail lists.
If I want to write to all of them I create a new msg & address
it to "BouvLists" which is the name of the group. TB!, as I
understand it, will send the msg to all the names in the group,
i.e. all the different Bouvier lists that I belong to.
The confusing thing is you don't see all the addresses expanded in
the To: address line. You sort of have to take it on faith, not
always the best way, IMO, when dealing with computers :-)
