A neat thing about making these lists--you can have a separate list for friends, family, Wackos, etc., they can be "tailored" to your needs. It makes it easy to "Send" an e-mail to a (group of people) that you want to send to. (In other words, just one double-click, instead of searching and clicking on several names) Below, is a method for making bulk e-mailing lists. AOL 4.0: First, click on your Address Book in the Write Mail window and click on the New Group icon. When the New Group Window appears, the top box is titled Group Name. Type in Family (for an example) The box below this one is titled Addresses,  in this box, you can type all of the Wacko's addresses. (Copy and paste is a good way to do this also) there should be a comma and a space after each "address" When list is complete, click on the OK button. You will then see the titled list appear in your Address Book. BTW, if you make a typo ...You will get an error box, telling you of the error. Now, all you have to do, in order to make a send to that group is, click on Address Book ...Then Double Click on the appropriate name (list), and all of the addresses will then appear in your Send To window.
