How to send email to a group of recipients at the same time?

I have been trying to set up a group in Mail, and think that I've done it correctly as all the cards are in the group when I look (I opened Address book, created a group, dragged across the email addresses I wanted in that group). However, when I type the group name (in this case: year7) in the addressee line in a new Mail message, it doesn't seem to recognise the name, and doesn't show a list of recipients.

What am I doing wrong?!

Please can somebody help me!

Many thanks.

I didn't know that that method is supposed to work.

Easiest way I know to add a group to a new message is to open Address Book from the Mail toolbar and drag the group name to the To: field. Clicking and holding on the group name in the To: field allows you to expand the group so that all of the recipients appear.
