Is there a way to set up distribution or mailing lists in Yahoo! email?

I have different groups of people that I email, and I use this feature in Outlook...would love to have it in Yahoo! if it is available! It is so much easier to type in a mailing or group list name rather than each individual. Thanks!

1. In the All New Mail----it's called a "distribution list". In the Classic Mail----it's called a "Category". Distribution List: Click this link for details on making a list. It explains it better than I can. Click the--"working with lists" tab. http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/cg/mail/cg_contbasics6.html ................. Category: On your mail page, click on "contacts" and your address book opens. >>check each name you want in this category. >>then click the "add to category" link-(next to the "send to" tab). >>in the drop down list, click on "new category" and a name box opens. >>type in a name---no special characters, nor more than 12 letters. Just keep it simple--and then click "ok"----and it's done. All you have to do now, is enter the "category name" in the address line you prefer, and everyone in that category gets the mail. Each category name will appear in the side panel of your address book under "categories" (for editing purposes) Also---in the drop down mailing list. Click on the "category" link next to "my contacts", and the different categories are listed.
