How do I add multiple email addresses for a contact to a group?

(I'm a recent convert from eMailer to Outlook Express, to Entourage, and finally to Mail.app)
I'm trying to set up a group in Address Book that includes multiple email addresses from a given card. These are folks that want me to include, for example, both their work and home email addresses when I send to this particular group.
I see that Address Book has the ability to use "Edit Distribution List..." to select one email address for a given card/contact, but I can't get it to allow me to use two or three for a given card.
I suppose for now I can just create a duplicate card, and pick one address from each.
Is there a better way?

Sorry, but Address Book does not allow you to select more than one email address to send to in a group. There's really no reason why people need multiple copies of a message, anyway; they have the option of forwarding email to another email address of theirs.

Can it be done from an .xlsx file?

I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
any ideas would be good
thanks

How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account? I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use. I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother. Is this correct? Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her? I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

How do I add an email address for mail?

I want to have different email addresses for different members of my family. Can I and how do i do it?

There are various e-mail services providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Aol, Outlook etc. You can go to their website and create an e-mail account for each of your family member (I recommend Gmail by Google). Once you have created all the accounts, you can add them to the mail app on the mac very easily. So, go and create e-mail accounts for your family members and then in the Mail app click Mail -> Add Account, select your e-mail service provider and follow the instructions on the screen.

How do I select multiple email address for a single person in my address book when creating a new email?

I am coordinating a large group of people and created a group list of over one hunderd people. The group is families and each person in the address book has several e-mail addresses. How do I select all the email address under each person in the address book so every family member recieves the e-mails?
It appears I can select any ONE email address but selecting multiples from any one person is not allowed, why is that? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

Not sure about this problem. But if you don't get an answer soon, go here which is the Mail forum for Leopard (which you listed in your sig).

Email multiple email addresses for one contact within Group email

I have a contact card within a Group that has 2 email addresses. When sending out mass emails I want to send it out to both of the addresses for that one contact card; however, when I put the persons name in the address bar in mail, it only defaults to one of them. How can I fix this without creating multiple contact cards for the same person? Thanks for your help!!!

Hi, I'm not positive, but I don't think you can.
I'd maybe keep a little text snippet of the 2 email addies to copy/paste in the TO: feild, or the BCC: feild is better.

Sending an email to all email addresses for a contact in a Group

I recently compiled a Group of contacts so that I could send out a Christmas email. These days most people have more than one email address. From what I understand, Mail will send it to the first email listed on their Address Book card. What if I wanted to send the email to all of their emails listed on their card? Is that possible?

Another suggestion is to have multiple groups which feed a "master" group. For example, Jane Doe has two email addresses (home and office) which I need to use in a single email message.
I create a master group calling it "Soccer". For the Distribution List, I use Jane's home email for Group 1 and Jane's work email for Group 2. I then drag and drop Group 1 and Group 2 into the "Soccer" group.
This isn't perfect, but it doesn't require you to have duplicate contacts.
Hope this helps someone.
very ingeneous!

How to make a distribution list that includes all email addresses for each contact?

Is it possible to create a distribution list that allows you to select all possible email addresses for each contact within a group? I am running into the problem that I can only select one email address for each contact, but need multiple. How can this email list be generated using the Contacts app and Mail?

You can't with the way it currently works.
I've never tried, but you might try multiple groups, each with a different email selected.
I think I created an Applescript that would grab every address of every selected person and address an email. It is probably buried in the bowels of these forums.
