As others have pointed out, there are workarounds that I think in the end are not as good as using BBDB as designed. At first, adding a mail-alias for each user in a group may seem like a bit of a pain, and it is, but ultimately it is much easier to maintain when members enter and leave a group. It is very simple to call up a BBDB record and add or remove an alias. It would be possible to do some coding to accept a list of email addresses and add an alias for each one, but unless you have dozens of members on the list that would likely take longer (although it would be reusable). On the other hand, I recently had a list of 50 to create and it took me around five minutes. I didn't think that was excessive. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i * Via Gnus/BBDB/Org/Emacs/Linux *
