Address Fields Questions In AppleMail
Hi all,
I'm using AppleMail 2.x. Is it possible to create a group in AddressBook so that when you drag the group into an address field of an AppleMail message, the address shows as the group name instead of the individual names/addresses?

Yes. Once you make a group in Address book, just type the name of the group in the appropriate address field, insert the highlighted group using the appropriate buttons (To:, CC:, BCC:) on the Address Panel (Command-Option-A), or drag and drop the group from Address Book or the Address Panel.

I already tried that and every time I do that, the individual names appear and that's not what I am trying to achieve. I am trying to just have the group name appear in the address field.

Ok, I get you now. I don't know any email client that does something like that.

I don't know if this works in Apple Mail - in Eudora with an apple script I put the "group" name in the "To:" field inside parenthesis, this is mandatory, as Eudora ignores anything inside parenthesis in the headers and the individual names/addresses for the group go to the "Bcc" header.
Computers never do what you want them to do; only what you tell them to do.

Are you trying to prevent your recipients from seeing each other's email addresses? Use BCC for that.

Entourage.
Mail can do it, too: Preferences -> Composing -> When sending to a group, show all member addresses.
