Mozilla E-mail question

Occasionally I send out an e-mail to about 50 people at once. I have an address book with these 50 names as well as many others. After I send the e-mail to the 50 people, I sometimes follow-up with another e-mail to the same people, but this means I have to go through the address book again and separate the 50 names from the others. Is it possible to copy all the names in the first e-mail sent (as a batch) and paste them into the new e-mail I want to send? I tried swiping them to copy but it does not work. Thanks for your help.

 

I think I figured it out. If I go to message, and select "edit message as new ", it opens a new letter with the same addressees and the same message. I simply delete the old message and type in the new one and then send it to the same addressees. Is this correct?

 

ackerberg,

That is absolutely one way to get around addressing from scratch, and pulling out the same 50 names. Why not make a mailing "List" with just those 50 addresses, and save yourself even more work...

The list is the members of an orchestra for a particular concert and the members change from concert to concert--so I can not make up a universal list. But once I send an e-mail to the group for one concert, I want to re-use that list for future e-mails to remind them of the rehearsal locations.

 

So, either follow the way you have been doing.
But are these people different all the time? If many are common, and, only a few vary, you should be able to manage.
My wife is in a Crafts group, and a core of people are interested in all meetings, may be 35 in all. Depending on the type of meeting, there may be a need to add anywhere between zero to fifteen addresses. It is not so bad.

 

I already have an address book with all the players. But due to instrumentation changes from one piece to the next, I can have a difference of many players. I also have players who can not play a particular concert, so I have subs in that addressbook as well. Believe me, the way I discovered, above, is the best way to handle it. I make up one e-mail from the address book at the start of rehearsals for a particular concert, and then copy that list, using the "edit the message" to send future e-mails.

 

In your case your solution is best, and I will keep it bookmarked, just in case.
Thanks.

My wife is involved in agility, obedience, and herding classes for dogs. The classes include 40 plus members, with multiply classes a day, 4 days a week. All of the schedules, along with many other announcements are managed through group mail. Summer training is outside, so weather related schedule updates need to be timely. Group mail works very well for the group. I set my wife's group account (yahoo) to "forward" all mail to her primary pop account in Thunderbird. In addition, group mail allows members to exchange ideas, share events and activities with other members when they were unable to participate.
