1 Mass_Mail
.B 0
There are a couple of ways to send mail to more than one user.  One way
is to answer the 'To:' question in the MAIL utility with more than one
Username destination, separating the Usernames with commas.
 The other way is to create a Username Distribution file containing all of
the Usernames that you wish to send mail to.  This file is a text file that
can be created and edited with any text editor.
 To get Mail sent to all Usernames, you could create a Username Distribution
file by typing in all of the Usernames yourself, or you can use a utility
named USERLIST.
