Tips and Variations:

• You can also create distribution lists from within a message by clicking on the "To" field and selecting "Create New Distribution List" from the dropdown menu.
• You can add multiple email addresses to a distribution list by separating them with commas.
• You can also use distribution lists to send messages to groups of people who are not in your contacts list.
• Distribution lists are specific to each email account, so if you have multiple email accounts set up on your Mac, you'll need to create separate distribution lists for each account.

I hope that helps!
