Help
The topic says it all. Please, allow a BBO mail message to go to more than one person. For example, after/during a team practice session, it would be VERY nice to send the same hand and comments to all team members (rather than doing a copy followed by multiple pastes to send the same message).
An implementation of this might restrict addressees to those in the "friends list" to discourage bulk mailed SPAM.

Bridge is more than just a card game. It is a cerebral sport. Bridge teaches you logic, reasoning, quick thinking, patience, concentration, and partnership skills.

Since you can add anyone to your friends list, that restriction won't stop a dedicated spammer. Better would be to just have a simple limit on the number of recipients, like 10.
But maybe you should just use ordinary email for this, rather than BBO mail.

Agree, don't use BBO mail for this.

Using ordinary e-mail makes it difficult to send the hand, bidding, and play to recipients. If there were a way to send the result of saving a hand in an ordinary e-mail message (AND then viewing the saved hand, auction, and play) regular e-mail would indeed be fine. I'm guessing that allowing multiple addressees in BBO mail would be easier for BBO to implement. A limit on the number of addressees would be fine. Six team members, a captain, and 1-3 coaches would be a sane maximum so the suggestion of a limit of ten addressees would serve my intent and make spamming a pain.

What I was thinking was that you use the "Make Handviewer Link" option, and then email this link.

Barry,
Thanks. I've tried this technique. It seems to work well for my purpose. Multiple BBO-Mail/BBO-Chat addressees may be desirable for other reasons (¿perhaps, organizing team games?), but I'm happy with this solution.
