Question

Can you mail groups from the iPad mail program?

OK I am going out of my mind trying to send an email using one of my contact groups. I have a group with about 100 emails in it that I send email to once or twice a week and I can't seem to find a way to select the group and send the email. I know it is probley me, I must be trying to hard or over thinking it. Cause this is a basic feature of any email program since 1990. So I am sure I am just missing it.

iPad, iOS 4

Hate to break it to you, but iPad's Mail app does NOT support group emails directly. However, there is an iPhone app called Pastebot that allows you to create email groups as sequences of email addresses separated by commas. Set each up once, then when you want to send that group an email, select that group from Pastebot, go to the Mail app, touch your finger in the TO address, Paste it, etc.

There is an app called Mail2Group. This works fine if you compose your email however you can't use it to forward an email that you want to resend. They say that it should work both ways once Apple makes some kind of fix. I'm not sure it's Apple responsibility.
Group mailing is important for iPad's further success. It will allow people who aren't computer literate to send group emails, such as the elderly who never had or wanted a computer but want to communicate their groups of common interest e.g. tennis or stitching etc.
