Dear reader,

I am a new pine user and I would like to know how to send one mail message
to a group of people at the same time. Please reply if you know how to do
this.

	From the m(ain) menu, type a(ddressbook), ?(help).  Do some
"Information Research" and find the section on "Distribution Lists".

	Since your email address contains .edu you may consider reading
the help screen as an "education".  I suggest you go "wild" and type
?(help) or when necessary ^G.  You may even learn some niffty features
along the way. :-O  :-)

	Ed

Ed's suggestion (included below) is the best way for sending mail to a
group of people you correspond with regularly.

However if you were just asking how to send a message to more then one
person (and aren't likely to be needing the same distribution list of
people regularly in the future) then the answer is much simpler:

In the "To:" field put in a list of e-mail addresses with commas in
between them.

To echo Ed's suggestion about "Information Research", the above is
described by putting your cursor on the "To:" field of the message you are
sending and typing ^G (Get Help - it's in the Command Menu at the bottom
of the screen) to see the information about the "To:" field and e-mail
addresses.

Cheers,

    Go into your addressbook screen and read the online help about
distribution lists.  This will allow you to send a single email to as
many people as you want with a single entry on the  To:  line when you
compose a message.  You only need to set up a distribution list once in
order to use it over and over.  However, when you compose your message,
you may include multiple recipients just by typing in all the addresses
separated by commas.
