   I suggest you you install a mailing list ! like majordomo software....
   Check on any good unix site....

Sute: use the "Lcc:" field rather than the "To:" field for the e-mail
addresses:

1.  Start composing your message.
2.  Put cursor on a header line and type ^R (Rich Headers)
3.  Type the nickname of the distribution list into the "Lcc:" field
    (Whilst there, read the built-in help about the "Lcc:" field.)
4.  Continue with Subject and Message Text as usual.

Cheers,
