Well, your question has already been answered but I have another point
about in-group email sending that has always bugged me.

The problem is that there is no CC: ability. If I send someone an
email from within the group, there is really no way for me to send a
copy of it to myself so I can keep if as a record of what I said and
who I sent it to.

So, there really needs to be one line for TO: and another for CC:.

Other have suggested that I might be able to separate the recipients
address from my own by a comma or semicolon, and thereby have two TO:
receivers. Sorry but it doesn't work. The TO: line is a drop down box,
not a text box; it doesn't allow editing.

What would really be slick is if when I clicked on the new [Send
Email] link, it would automatically jump to the Yahoo email account
for the username that I am logged in under. That way, the email and
the true email address of the person would automatically be record in
my email accounts [Sent] folder.

I think to some extent these features aren't available because Yahoo
wants to protect people's email addresses from Data Miners who like to
scan the Internet for any email address they can find.

Despite this risk of Data Mining, it would still be nice to record a
copy of the emails I send from in-group. I always use the Web
interface because I don't want my computer cluttered up with thousands
of emails. 

Thanks for listening.
