How do you create and label a group/set of email addresses in Mail so you can just send to group? I have looked and not found.

Open the Address Book app. Create your new group in there. Close your Mail app, then re-open Mail. Click on the address book icon, click on your new group and select all in the group (cmd+A). And of course, click on "To:" once the contacts in that group are all selected.

I don't know if there's a better/quicker way. But I know this method works cause I just tried it out to make sure. :)

Sorry for n00bness, but when I re-open Mail, I do not see an Address Book icon. Where should it be?

Along the top of the main window. Might not be there, depending on how you've customized the appearance.

You can customize the toolbar by right-clicking on it and then a big "window" of options will open and you drag the icons you want onto your toolbar. The toolbar is just the top margin of the main window in Mail.

Actually, once you have created your group -- for instance "Friends", all you have to do in a new mail message is start typing Friends. Should autofill for you.

See? I knew there would be a quicker/better way to do something. Gotta love Apple!
