| Managing Mailing Lists SUMMARY: One method of managing one-way mailing lists, or announcement lists, via Eudora.
Both Eudora and Eudora Light have excellent abilities to handle multiple one-way mailing lists. The best way I have seen to manage such mailing lists with this software is to do the following:
Setting up the list:
1. Open the "Nicknames" window, and choose "New."
2. Type in the name of the mailing list.
3. In the "Address" window, type in the e-mail addresses of those who you wish to be on the mailing list, one address per line.
4. Save the list. Now, if you need to add/remove people, just add/remove their names from the Nicknames window.
Sending mail to the list:
1. Click on the "Nicknames" window, and click on the name of the mailing list.
2. Click on the "BCC" button. BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy, and using this method the members of the mailing list will not see anyone else's e-mail address.
3. A new mail message window will show up. In the "TO" field, type in the name of the mailing list and your e-mail address in brackets.
4. Type in the subject, and type in the message.
5. Send the message the normal way.
Note that this is much more complicated than if you use mailing list software such as Arrow, ListServ, or Majordomo. If you don't have access to such software, though, this is the next best thing.
