replying to multiple emails at once

Question

replying to multiple emails at once

I posted a message to a list and received over a dozen individual replies. I'd like to respond to all at once. Can I do that?

I understand I could make a reply and turn it into stationery to use multiple times, but I'd have to address each one individually.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Option 1 :
Create a new group in AddressBook.
Add each contact you need in this group.
(In the mail you received right-click on the sender and choose "add to AdressBook")

Then create your new mail and in the "To:" field enter the name of the group, Mail will replace it by email address of group members.

Option 2 :
In Mail.app, create a new rule that reply automatically to those who answer you.

Here's how I would like it to work:

I select multiple emails in the main window of Mail (list view of messages), control-click on the lot, and see an option: Respond to all senders. Choose that option, and a new message window opens with all those addresses in the To: box. To top it off, I could select all those addresses and use the contextual menu to add them to the address book *as a group*.

Guess I'll have to send this to Apple Feedback. Now, one must add new addresses to Address Book one by one, then go to Address Book and select and drag each one to the desired group.

The script here works just great.

Select the emails you want to respond to, run the script and it creates a new message.
It puts you as the recipient then puts everyone else in the BCC:.
