Creating Distribution Lists In Eudora 5
What if you want to send an email to a number of individuals by using a nickname that sends messages to everybody in a particular group. You can accomplish this task by creating a distribution list in your Eudora address book. To create a distribution list in Eudora 5, follow the instructions below.
1. From within Eudora, press Control-l to open your Eudora address book. If you are placed in the screen that contains the personal, home, work, other and notes tabs, press F6 to get into the Eudora nicknames tree view.
2. From the Eudora nicknames tree view, press Alt-n. You will be placed in the nickname edit box field.
3. Type the nickname you want to use for this particular group (e.g., Book Club). Once this distribution list has been created, everytime you type Book Club in a to, cc, or bcc field, Eudora will expand and place everyone's name from the group in that field.
4. Press the tab key to get to the full name field. You may or may not have one. For example, the full name of your book club might be the Library for the Blind Book Club, but you may just want to use Book Club as a shorter nickname.
5. Press the tab key four times to pass through the first name, swap and last name fields, and you will be placed in an edit box in which all of the email addresses for your distribution list are to be entered.
6. You may enter the email addresses on individual lines, or you can separate them by a comma and a space. Each method is explained in more detail as follows.
A. Type the first address followed by a comma and a space. Then, type the second address followed by a comma and a space, and so on, until you have entered all of the desired email addresses for this distribution list.
B. Alternatively, type the first address, then enter. Type the second address, then enter, and so on, until you have entered all of the desired email addresses for this distribution list.
7. If you want to enter additional information on this particular group, you can use the Control-tabkey to access the work, home, other and notes pages.
8. After you have finished entering information for your distribution list, press Control-F4, or Control-w, to save your changes and exit the address book.
9. After you press Control-F4 or Control-w, you will receive the message, "Save changes to Address Book?" Press the enter key or the letter y to save the changes and exit the Address Book. Press the letter n, or tab to no and press enter, to cancel your changes and exit the Address Book.
10. As mentioned previously, after you save the nickname for your distribution list, whenever you send an email to the nickname you created, such as Book Club, you are sending the email to everybody who is associated with this nickname.
