However, you have to know the email addresses of each of the people that you want to put in your list. This means that you have to look them up anyway in bbdb.

To see the list `mylist' just type: M-x bbdb-notes RET mail-alias RET mylist RET There's everyone in your mailing list, along with all the nice notes. One problem with the .mailrc method is if one of the people on your list changes addresses. You now have to make the change in both .bbdb and .mailrc. -- Colin Rafferty BBDB Evangelist
