I should have said pulldown. If your contact is named "me". When you click on To:, select "me", then the very first line of the pulldown is "Add all
contacts in folder". That will send the mail to the primary address plus
all the addresses in the "Additional addresses" box.

Well as I said I have to go through at least a dozen menues to get to
it.  My contact list seems to automatically populate itself and now is
in the hundreds.  If I click on To: I am displayed my contacts from A
to An.  If I click on "More Items ->" I get the next menu and that gets
me a little further, but I still have a long way to go.  Just to get to
the Me contact at the middle of the alphabet I have to go through
thirteen menues.  It works, but it is highly inconvenient.  It is
probalby easier to drag and drop and then do surgery to put the
addresses in proper form.

Yes, but it wasn't always that way. Opera, through several versions, allowed you to enter the first letter in the address box, then it would list only the contacts that started with that letter. I do not know why that feature was dropped.
