You just add a single line to that file like this: alias groupname user1@domain1.com, user2@domain2.com, etc@etc.com and then you compose a message to groupname and hit SPC or , after groupname and it expands. After editing .mailrc, you have to restart Gnus, or use something like: (defun jdc-rebuild-mail-abbrevs () (interactive) (rebuild-mail-abbrevs (concat (getenv "HOME") "/.mailrc")) nil) (global-set-key [f11 ?R] 'jdc-rebuild-mail-abbrevs) Dan
