Creating contact groups (mailing lists):

You can also create contact groups, which combine multiple individual contacts into a single group. Creating a contact group enables you to send e mail to many ‑ people at once. If you send an e‑mail message to a contact group, it will be sent to everyone you added to the group. Sending e‑mail to a contact group can be a lot easier than adding names one at a time to an e‑mail message, especially if you often send messages to the same group of people.
