I'm sure it used to also work with semicolons but maybe I was asleep. Brian

double click on the empty line above in the address pane. Type in new group name

[Ian Jackson]

I've just tried it. Another method is to type in the first NG name, and hit 'Return'. This opens another address line below it. Type a second NG name in the new address line, and hit 'Return'. And so on, ad infinitum.

Actually, what happens in Outlook express is that you can use a semicolon as it changes it to a comma at send time. More useless info!

More than about three and people start treating it as spam.

Thanks ( if this worked)

[Gary]

it did

[Mark Carver]

Often with Thunderbird (IMHO) that won't work. I'm composing this as a normal replay. Both groups are showing on their own address lines, but I suspect when I hit send, I'll get an error message, stating that I can only post to a single group at a time. Or maybe it'll post to both without a fuss.

Let's see............

Yep, Fail, so let's try the comma separated method....

Nope that failed too, hence the single post (mirrored for the other group)

[The Natural Philosopher]

set a followup line

[Rick Hughes]

just put a semi-colon between each group ?
