Email Groups
Creating a mail group (email
distribution list) makes it easy to send email to multiple
recipients.
Mail groups are simply a list of email addresses, that are
treated as a single entity and are ideal when you need to send to
the same group of recipients on a regular basis as you only need to
add a single entry rather than selecting multiple individual
entries.
Mail groups can be used on either the to, cc or bcc fields and
it is not possible to exclude individual addresses from a group. It
is for this reason that you should take care when creating the
groups.
Nesting Groups
Because it is not possible to exclude addresses from an existing
list then it is good practise to create small groups and combine
them into larger groups.
This can be seen in the screenshots below with mail groups that
i created in outlook Express.
Mail Group A

Mail Group B

Mail Group C

If you're confused by what I mean by excluding an email address
from a group then if you look at groupa above it has two members:
Adrian and Andrew. It is not possible to send an email to group A
and exclude either Adrian or Andrew.
