CONTACT Smart Group to e-mail not working?

When in CONTACTS and you select a Smart Group - then select “E mail to “Group”, CHROME opens and it opens Century Link with an e-mail login screen? i.e. it doesn’t go to my e-mail App or any of my e-maIl accounts?

OR

When in CONTACTS and you select a Smart Group - then select “E mail to “Group”, then do a COPY and directly open one of my email accounts, then do a PASTE into the “TO:” box - the APP CRASHES — Either way I cannot email to a group of contacts???

Is there a way to set a default e-mail address in CONTACTS?

I was trying to CopyPpaste a Smart Group. But I now am using just a Group (not Smart Group) and all is well.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I really don't need a Smart Group to email my members. A Group works just fine and I set the default to automatically expand the list so I can check if all are there.

Good forum .. very .. helpful

There are a few different problems in play here.

What is your default mail application? Whether from a smart group or a regular group, choosing "Send email to (group name)" opens your default mail application. In my case, that is the system Mail application.

If you use a different one, you still have to open Mail and select the desired application:

There is a known bug in that sending e-mail to a smart group is not working, but sending e-mail to a regular group works fine, I use this all the time.

I don't understand what you mean by

When in CONTACTS and you select a Smart Group - then select “E mail to “Group”, then do a COPY

Can you clarify? Copy what, where?

I am not seeing that. I can copy and paste. The resulting address does not work (like it also does not work if I type the name of the smart group) but it does not make Mail crash.

Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here. Use the "additional text" button and paste the report into the text box.
