Upgrade to 10.8 proved regressive in Mail. To send a group email I now have to select all names in the group to send to the group. Previous to upgrade I needed to only select the group. Why the regression? Am I missing something?

I can drag and drop a group from the Address Book into any of the To/Cc/Bcc fields of a Mail message, and all addresses from the group pop up there.

Or are we talking something different?

I just tried: I can also type the group name directly into those message address fields, and all group members show up. Now what...

Yup, that works. Still, curious as to why I can no longer just select the Group and then click To button and have the Group pasted there. Drag and drop will work for me. Thanks--
