Hi,

When importing recipients from the Mac Address Book, how do I get Mailer to import the contents of the sub groups at the same time? i.e. the group I wish to import contains one or more other groups.

Thanks.

Have you tried to drag and drop them from Address Book to MaxBulk Mailer?

The address book group in question contains a group plus some individual contacts.

If I use the Import button, only the individual contacts are added to the recipients list. I have to explicitly Import the sub group to get those contacts added as well.

Drag/drop of the group doesn't work at all.

If I select the contents of the group (i.e. the sub group & the individual contacts) & then drag/drop - only the individual contacts are added. Drag/drop of the sub group does nothing.

And oddly enough if I then select the contents of the sub group (or any other contact/contacts for that matter) and then drag/drop, they are not added either.

It seems that there's a general problem with drag/drop from address book:
1) Drag/drop of a group doesn't work at all.
2) Subsequent drag/drop of any contacts after the initial recipient list drag/drop, fails to add to them to the list.

Are you using the very last MaxBulk Mailer version, 8.3.7?

By dragging & dropping a group into another group.

I didn't even know you could HAVE subgroups. This now opens up brand new possibilities for me.
