<H3>Using the Address Book</H3>
<P>The Address Book, like an address book you keep in your pocket or purse, is
where you keep information about individuals or groups that you correspond with.
The Address Book lets you keep this information stored in one handy place and
also lets you conveniently send mail to these individuals or groups.</P>
<P>Each entry in the Address Book includes a "nickname" (shorthand name) for a
person or group, their full email address(es), a real name, any contact information,
notes, and other personal information. You can also use the Address Book to
put nicknames on your Quick Recipient List, and to address a new message. Further,
you can use the Address Book to create multiple nickname files (folders) to
organize your nicknames. Last, you use the Address Book to remove nickname entries
and files.</P>
<P>Begin by opening the Address Book: Select <B>Window&gt;Address Book</B>, or
click the <B>Address Book</B> button on the main toolbar, or press <B>Command+L</B>.</P>

<P>The Recipient List is a list of selected nicknames that you use often. These
nicknames are available from the Eudora menus; you don't have to open the
Address Book to address messages to these individuals.</P>
<P>To add a nickname to the Recipient List, open the Address Book (<B>Window&gt;Address
Book</B>), choose the nickname for the desired entry, and check the <B>Recipient
List</B> box. </P>
<P>To create a new message addressed to someone on your Recipient List, choose
their nickname from the <B>New Message To</B>, <B>Forward To</B>, or <B>Redirect
To</B> submenus under the <B>Message</B> menu. The message is opened and addressed
to the selected nickname (in the To field only).</P>
<P>To add someone from your Recipient List to a message that is already open,
put the cursor in the appropriate recipient field (To, Cc, or Bcc) and choose
the desired nickname from the <B>Edit&gt;Insert Recipient</B> submenu.</P>
