If all you want to do is get together with a few friends and have an e-mail discussion, the best way to do it is with a “distribution list”, or a “group nickname”. Each person in the group creates, in their address book, a nickname for the group. This nickname includes the e-mail address of each person in the group. When you create the nickname, give Pine or Eudora all the e-mail addresses when asked for the address. Separate the addresses from each other by commas.
