> Sending group emails in Mail on iOS a bit of a fiddly trick, but easy
> enough to get your head around. These are the steps you need to follow to
> send a group email in the Mail app in iOS:
>
> Open the Contacts app (it's inside the Extras folder by default).
> Tap the Add (+) icon.
> Enter the name of the group (such as "friends" or "work") in the Last
> field.
> Scroll down to the Notes section. We're going to use this to write out the
> email addresses. You need to surround each mail address with greater than
> and less than symbols and place a comma between each one. For example
> <John@xxxxxxxx>, <Jane@xxxxxxxx>.
> Tap and hold the names to bring up the contextual menu. Tap Select All and
> Copy.
> Tap Add Email.
> Tap and hold the Email field and tap Paste.
> That now creates a contact with a single name but multiple email
> addresses. Open the Mail app and tap New. Now enter the name of the group
> into the To field. It will turn blue, indicating that it is a contact.
> When you send the email it will go to all the people whose email addresses
> you added to Contacts.
