Reader Question: How Do I Make A Distribution List in Mail?
I received a question from a reader today asking me how to set up a distribution list like he had on his Windows machine with Outlook. My response to his was this:
- Make sure that you have an Address card in Address Book for each of the people you want on the list.
- Create a New Group by selecting the “+” button under the Group area.
- Name the Group like you did in Outlook.
- From your Address Book entries Drag and Drop the names of the people you want in the Group to the group name.
- Now open up Mail and in the “TO:” Field type the name of the Group you created.
- Type your e-mail and Press Send.
I hope this helps him and you out.

Hi:
That works fine but leaves all the adresses visible to the receiver, something I would like to avoid. How can I do that?
thanks.

I know this question is over a year old, but I had a similar question today about making a private e-mail distribution list on Apple Mail, and saw this recent helpful answer on the Apple support forums: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10640120
