Author Message   Mergele Citizen Username: Mergele Post Number: 250 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2005 - 7:34 pm:        I'm sure by now that denizens of MOL looking for a Gmail account have probably got one, but I have now landed the mythical 50 invites, so if anybody wants one, PL me.   Joan Supporter Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 4945 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2005 - 7:42 pm:        I have 50 invites available too. You can send me a PL as well if you want one.   sac Supporter Username: Sac Post Number: 1836 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2005 - 8:48 pm:        I created a gmail account but then I discovered that it didn't seem to support distribution lists. Did I just miss this feature? How does anyone do email without distribution lists?   Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 5499 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Monday, February 14, 2005 - 10:58 pm:        Wow, you're right. That's no good. I'm keeping a list of things I like and dislike about gmail. Still haven't totally decided. Right now, I am using it to receive mail from mailing lists, but I still give out my regular address to my personal correspondents.   Joan Supporter Username: Joancrystal Post Number: 4950 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - 4:58 pm:        I just checked gmail help and they admit that it isn't presently possible to do group lists. I got around the problem recently by creating a message in gmail, checking all of the persons in my address book I wanted to send it to and sending it. The next time I wanted to send a message to the same group, I went back to the earlier message and "replied to all". The message automatically went to each person on my group list. I then labeled the gmail thread with the name I would have used for the personal group list had I created one. This makes it easy to find the group again when I want to send additional messages to them.   Tom Reingold Supporter Username: Noglider Post Number: 5525 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2005 - 5:08 pm:        Yeah, but that's kludgy and inconvenient.
