I want to send one announcement to a lot of the people I have in my email contacts. I have seen other people send out announcements and a whole list of people was contacted at one time with that announcement attached. How can I do that? I have just been emailing one person at a time with the same announcement and it is killing me!!
I am not very computer savy, so could you take pitty on me and explain in steps like 1st thing to do, 2nd thing you do, and so on, just like you were explaining it to a 2 year old.
HELP!!

In Yahoo! you make them a group - then select that. Be careful about what you are doing though. Are they friends or people who have asked you to email them? If not it is quite likely to be considered spamming and illegal.

If you’re using Yahoo–set up a “category”.(which is a list)
On your mail page, click on “contacts” and your address book opens.
>>check each name you want in this category.
>>then click the “add to category” link-(next to the “send to” tab).
>>in the drop down list, click on “new category” and a name box opens.
>>type in a name—no special characters, nor more than 12 letters. Just keep it simple–and then click “ok”—-and it’s done.
The category name should appear in the side panel of your address book under “categories” (for editing purposes)>>>>AND>>>>in the drop down mailing list-(when you click on the word TO). Click on the “category” link next to “my contacts”, and the different categories are listed.
All you have to do now, is enter the “category name” in the address line you prefer, and everyone in that category gets the mail.
There IS a limit to the number of addresses per email—so you might want to keep that in mind when making a category. The TO line allows about 100 (or less)—- or the BCC line is much less, (with less than 50).
