Work with Groups

Groups (distribution lists) are collections of Address Book entries.
You may send your MIME files to Groups. Using groups has two advantages:

  1. you do not have to mention addressees one by one
  2. you are not showing to the recipients the names and the e-mail addresses of your destinations (a way to protect other people e-mail addresses from spamming).

This page shows how you can maintain Groups.
Type command

mmail/wrkgrp

Initially you have no groups:

Figure 1- There are no Groups

Press F6 to define a new group

Figure 2- Defining a New Group

... but the group is empty (look at the 0 just after the group description)!

Use option 2 to edit the group:

Once finished, press F12 (or just press Enter without selecting any entries):
