How to create a mail list in the Mozilla address book.

Open the Mozilla address book by either clicking on the notecard icon in the bottom left corner of the program, or by going to the Window menu and choose Address Book.

Either choose one of the existing Address Books to create the new Mailing list in, or create a new Address Book by going to the File menu and choose New, then Address Book.

Either highlight the address book on the left side, then choose the New List icon out of the toolbar, or right click on the Address book and choose New List.



The List Name field is the only required box that you have to fill out.  

The nickname field can be used if you'd like a shortcut method to address a message to a mailing list. For example, rather than addressing a message to "members of my bridge club section b", you could use a  nickname like "bridgeb" for the list. When you compose a message, you can type in "bridgeb", and Mozilla will look up the nickname and substitute the correct mailing list name out of your address book.



The description field is optional, and whatever is typed there just displays in the address book list.
