Nesting distribution lists?

Clearly, I should be perusing the manual rather than just skimming...

 Thanks, gentleman, for your replies.

Do I use the .pml  name or the List Title e.g. newtown.pml or NewtownMembers?

I've got a couple of distribution lists where one of them is a subset of the the other.

At present, whenever I get a new email address for  the smaller list, I have to remember to add it to BOTH lists.  Sometimes I forget.  Is is possible to nest lists, so that I just have to put the name of the smaller list inside the bigger list, and so I don't have to update the bigger list with the common addresses? e.g.

 List1 has

         Email 1, Email 2,Email 3

List2 has

         Email 1, Email 2, Email 3, Email4, Email5, Email6

Can I have it so that List2 has

         List1, Email4, Email5, Email6

 and List1 gets expanded appropriately?

 

Thanks, 

Shah

Yes, dist, lists can be nested and IIRC they can be no move than 3 deep.

From the P.M manual:

Any address you could normally type into any address field in Pegasus Mail can be entered into a distribution list, including references to other distribution
lists (up to a maximum of five levels deep)
