Well not all, but I have about 25 messages from different people in my inbox
that I would like to send a reply to all of them, same message.. and I don't
want to put them in my address book... I don't see how to select multiple
and reply with one message.. ?

Can they be sent separately? One way would be to open a new message window
and create the message you want. File | Save As and save it as a .txt file
wherever is convenient.

Click on the first message header and Reply. Then: Insert | Text From File
and double click on the message you saved to insert it into the message
body. Repeat for each message.

I presume this is not spam that you want to reply to? They will never get it
if it is.

Hi dwolf,

Bruce gave a reasonable solution for an issue which doesn't have an
automatic answer. If you plan to repeat the mailing it would be possible to
build a list in Notepad or create a mailto: shortcut using all the addresses
(more advanced).

From an opened message right-click on the From name and choose Copy.
Right-click Paste in Notepad.
This will give the Display Name and address (in angle brackets):

John Doe johnd(at)myisp.com

Repeat this for each address to be used.
Copy and paste the addresses to form one line with each entry separated by a
comma or semi-colon. The angle brackets can be kept if this makes it easier
to select an address. When ready copy the addresses (grouped together) to
the To: or Bcc: line of a new message. The Bcc: line will maintain privacy
for the recipients of the group message. Use your own address for the To:
line. An address book entry can be created for the purpose of the group
message with an appropriate display name.

Thanks... I will probably just copy and paste my message and send each one
separately, won't take long..
