I have created some folders in Mail and one has about 387 emails in it that I've received. How can I send one email out to all 387 of them without doing them all one at a time?
Thanks.

Captfred, you misunderstand. I have a mailbox and in it about 350 emails that I've received from 350 different people.
I want to send a single message, the same message, back to all 350 of these different email addresses. But I don't want to cut/paste one at a time, 350 times. Make sense?
I don't use mail but my email clients allow me to select multiple emails then select reply. The reply email will be sent to all of my selected email senders.
Check if this works in Mail. It is the same process as suggested by Captfred but select reply instead of forward.
I believe you will have to use AppleScript or Automator to extract all the e-mail addresses from the selected messages, then add those to a new outgoing message. If you're not sure how to do that, try asking over on the [AppleScript forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724].
Also, note that most e-mail servers apply limits to the number of different addresses you are able to send to at one time. Some have limits for single messages, limits per hour or per day, etc. Check with your e-mail provider to be sure this message will be sendable. And make absolutely sure all those addresses are on the Bcc line, otherwise everyone will be able to see addresses for everyone else you sent to, which will not be appreciated by some.
Also be aware of certain limitations imposed by your mail provider. Mobile Me for example only allows 200 emails or 1000 recipients per 24 hour rolling clock.
Your provider may limit numbers also.

Edit: opps, just saw your comments Thomas, sorry for the repeat..
"I don't use mail but my email clients allow me to select multiple emails then select reply. The reply email will be sent to all of my selected email senders."
What is the emai client that you use that allow you to do that? I think I need to start using it...
