My reasons are pretty simple. I have many mail groups - tennis team, swim team board, basketball board, school parents, etc. (Hmmm. There's a theme there...) Reason 1: If I send a mail to one of these groups - say the basketball executive board, I want to get it as well since I save related messages in a separate folder. Reason 2: The e-mail addresses in these groups are shared to others. I don't want to have to remember to add myself to the list when I send it out to the others that want the e-mails in that group. I use the member of groups feature in the AB heavily. Right now, I have about 15 groups and include myself as a member of about 10 of them. Most of the ones that I don't are pretty much dead groups that I don't use any more and leave out there for posterity. (Computers are really awful for packrats!) Reason 3: Including myself in the group also makes it easy to confirm that I've included everyone. I.e. 8 kids on the basketball team, including my son, there should be 8 e-mail addresses in the list. If I've only got 7, I've forgotten a family. Again, YMMV. This has worked well for me for years. -- Dave Kennedy ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
