How to Send an Email to a Distribution List
To send an email to a distribution list, you can use the "To" field in the compose window. Here's how:
- Compose a new email.
- In the "To" field, type the email address of the distribution list (e.g., [groupname]@gmail.com).
- Separate multiple email addresses with commas (e.g., [groupname]@gmail.com, [member1]@gmail.com, [member2]@gmail.com).
- Add a subject and body to your email.
- Click "Send" to send the email to the distribution list.
Tips and Variations
- You can also use Gmail's "Cc" field to send an email to a distribution list. However, this will send a copy of the email to each member of the list, rather than sending a single email to the list.
- If you want to send an email to a distribution list and have it appear as if it was sent from a specific email address, you can use Gmail's "From" field.
- You can also use third-party plugins or add-ons, such as Sanebox or Boomerang, to manage your distribution lists and send emails to them.
