You can use `* m' to send a message to all the people displayed in the BBDB buffer. Adding a common notes entry to the people from your study group is a convenient way to be able to display just those people. There's also a way to do it with the .mailrc file. Gnus automatically expands aliases from the .mailrc file if you hit SPC or TAB after entering an alias into the To or Cc header. > I'd like to send mail to the 4 or 5 members of a study group using > one address. That's a different question altogether and requires root access on your machine. You could, however, fake it like this: To: (my study group) Bcc: john, paul, judy This way, the To header just contains a comment, and the Bcc header will not be sent. Hence, the recipients just see the To header. This would be straight forward to do with the .mailrc approach, and would require some manual editing of the headers using the BBDB approach. (But the editing involved could surely be automated with a kbd macro or the like.) kai -- Life is hard and then you die.
