Address book entries can be simple cases of aliases (a single nickname is
linked to a single email address) or distribution lists (a single
nickname pointing at more than one email address). Each distribution list
has a nickname, a full name and a list of addresses. The addresses may be
actual addresses or they may be other nicknames in your address book.
They may even refer to other distribution lists. There's really no
difference between a simple alias and a distribution list, other than the
number of addresses. Therefore, you can turn a simple alias with one
address into a distribution list simply by adding more addresses. To add
entries to an existing list or alias use the View/Update (">") command.
Delete ("D") will delete a single address from the list if the cursor is
placed on the address; it will delete the entire distribution list if the
cursor is on the nickname/fullname line. View/Update may also be used to
delete addresses from a list.

Address field entries in distribution lists may take any one of three
forms: a nickname existing in any of the defined address books, a normal
address of the form "jsmith art nowhere edu", or a complete
fullname/address combination, e.g. "John Smith <jsmith art nowhere edu>".

Distribution lists in Pine address books can only be used by the person
or people who have access to that address book. They are not usually used
to implement discussion groups, but can be used to facilitate small
discussion groups if all the participants have access to the same shared
address book.
