Set Up an E-Mail Group – Wired How-To Wiki
“An e-mail group, or “mailing list,” as it’s often called, is an easy way to send e-mail to specific group of people.
An e-mail group is useful for everything from interoffice memos to long-term projects, especially those projects which involve teams made up of people in multiple locations. Rather than daily phone conferences or time-consuming face-to-face meetings, an e-mail group can enhance collaboration by ensuring everyone involved in a project stays up to date.
They’re also great for non-technical users, since members can reply to everyone in the group at once by sending mail to one address — there’s no need to add a bunch of addresses to an e-mail by hand every time they want to send a message.
While e-mail might not entirely replace human meetings, a list that delivers important updates and facilitates communication between project participants can significantly smooth your workflow. “
