Write a message using a mailing list

There are two methods that produce different results.

Through the address book

On the mail toolbar, look for the ‘Addresses’ button.

  1. Click the Addresses button to open it.
  2. Select the mailing list.
  3. Click the Compose button.

This will open a new “Redact” window, and each existing contact in the mailing list will appear in a separate “To” field. This allows you to remove a specific contact if desired.
You may also need to manually select the button Bcc for each email address, as your contacts may not want to leave their email addresses visible.
Enter the subject, compose the message and click the button Send.

Enter the subject, compose the message and click the button Send.

How to add two contacts to the address book that use the same email address

Example:
In your address book, you have two people with the same email address.
a) Sam Paul has the address: sam@domain.
b) Liza Paul has the address: liza@domain.

These two people are perfectly stored in an address book, but to add them to a mailing list, conventional methods are invalid. Here are the steps below:

In the address book, select one of the two people and edit their contact address. In the example, I entered the letter “A” at the beginning.

Liza Paul has the address liza@domain.

Now move them both to the mailing list. Because the addresses are not the same, they will be added to the mailing list. Once there, select the mailing list and double-click on Sofia Fernandez to edit her email address by removing the initial letter “A”. Click the button Accept at the end.

You should now have two people sharing the same email address in the mailing list, and if you go back to the address book entries, you’ll find them correctly.
