Look at using a distribution list.  Copy the email addresses from Excel to a text file with the PML file extension and save it to your home mail directory.  Then hit the Addresses | Distribution lists  and edit the dist. list to add the options you want. The To field is generally used by most people to suppress the email addresses.

 

 Distribution list options

There are several ways you can control and customize the operation of your distribution lists. To alter these options, press <F6> to open the distirbution list manager if it is not already open, then select the list you want to work with on the left, and click the Settings button.

To field (suppressing the list of recipients): Entering an address in this field will force Pegasus Mail to suppress the listing of all the recipients' addresseses in the To: field when you use the list. Instead of showing every member of the list, the To: field will contain only what you enter here. Because of the way Internet mail works, you cannot simply enter any piece of text in this field -- you must enter something which can be legally processed as if it were an address. We recommend that you use the following format to create the contents of this field:

    "(descriptive text)" <(your own address)>

Replace (descriptive text) with a meaningful name for the mailing list, and put your own address where it says (your own address). Recipients will almost always see the descriptive text instead of your address so it will not seem as strange as it sounds. The quote characters around (descriptive text) and the angle bracket characters around (your own address) are vitally important and must be included exactly as shown. It is not possible to suppress the recipient list for MHS mail and this field will be ignored for MHS messages.


Reply to: If you want to direct replies to list mailings to a particular address, enter it here. A reply-to field you set in the list will override any in the message.

Request confirmation of reading, Request confirmation of delivery, Mark message as urgent, Signature set: These controls duplicate the same features in the message editor. If you set them for the distribution list they will override the values you use when you compose the message.

I am a long time user of Pegasus Mail.  I currently have version 4.52.

I now have a need to write emails to multiple persons whose names are on a spreadsheet (Excell).  I have tried to copy and paste addresses by left clicking and selecting a list of entries on the spreadsheet, then pasting into the address block on the new mail on Pegasus, but only the first address appears.  I know that this is possible to do with Outlook Express, but I do not want to use that product.  Is there a way that this can be done with Pegasus?

What I do is save the Excel file with the names and addresses as a text file and then use the Pegasus Mail mail merge to create a message for each user. This creates a separate message for each user tailored with their info from the Excel file.  If this is what you are trying to do I can help you with a few samples.

Sounds like that is what I want.  I will look at mail merge, and if you could send me some examples, I would much appreciate.

I looked at mail merge.  All I want to do is to have mutliple addresses on the same email, I do not want to customize the messages.Perhaps importing the names and email addresses to a temporary address book is what I need?
