Default Dividing Group

In the left hand pane your should see your Contacts folder, does it have a
plus sigh next to it?

If so, click it, this should cause your groups to display under the folder.

When you click the group under the folder it's contents will display in the
right hand pane and this is where you can select and copy or drag them to
another group.

| | In my Address Book, the left list is the name of the individual (in my

with

| it.
| | I'd have to double click to open the group. When that opens, there is
| no

only

| |
| | Click plus sign to expand your Contacts folder.
| |
| | All your groups should display.
| |
| | Click one of your groups, all contacts for that group should display
| in
| | right pane.
| |
| | Select the first name to highlight it, then while holding down the
| shift
| | key
| | select one of the other names half way down the list, all contacts
| | in-between should highlight.
| |
| | On the Edit menu choose Copy.
| |
| | Create a new group but do not put any contacts in it.
| |
| | The new group should display in the left hand pane with all the
other
| | groups.
| |
| | Click it, then on edit menu choose Paste.
| |
| | The names your copied from your first group should now display in
the
| new
| | group.
| |
| | When satisfied with results delete those names from the first group.

| | | The message wasn't very long; it was the number of recipients that
| was
| | too
| | | large. It's been OK for a long time, I may have just added a
couple
| too
| | | many more this month. I always put my address in the To, and the
| the
| | group
| | | list in the BCC.
| | |
| | | Problem in creating two new groups is that I don't know of any way
| to
| | copy
| | | the list (or half of it).

| | | The number of addresses is too large to send or the message is
too
| | large?
| | | (OE doesn't care about either but your ISP probably does.)
| | |
| | | Assuming the latter, you can create two (2) new Groups with half
| of
| | the
| | | addresses in each & then delete the original Group; or you can
| create
| | one
| | | (1) new Group with one half of the addresses it in it then
delete
| | those
| | | addresses from the original Group.
| | |
| | | PS: Have you tried putting the original Group in the BCC field
| (and
| | then
| | | your address in the TO field)?
