Lists in the address book

Pine allows you to create distribution list entries in the address book. These list entries usually contain two or more addresses, which can be either complete email addresses, or nicknames defined elsewhere in the address book. In the example at the top of this page, the distribution list named ``1996 Conference Panel'' contains, in addition to three ``fully qualified'' email addresses, the nickname ``Ross'', which is defined in the first entry of that address book. You can use an address book list entry to manage a small distribution list. When sending out a message, you just enter the nickname of the list in the To:, Cc: or Bcc: fields, and Pine fills in all the addresses on the list.
