The way I do it is as follows:

1.  Create a new message.
2. Press alt-t and then r to call up the address book.
3.  Tab to the address list.
4.  Use the down arrow key to highlight the first desired address.
5.  Hold the control key down and press the space bar twice to select the
first desired address.  I don't know why you have to hit the space bar twice
to select the first address, I just know that it has to be done.
6.  While continuing to hold down the control key, release the space bar,
and use the arrow keys to highlight the next desired address.  Use the space
bar to select the next desired address.  Hit the space bar only once for
each address, hitting the space bar the second time will unselect the
address.  Continue with other addresses if desired.
7.  When all desired addresses have been selected, release the control key
and tab to the "to" box.  Press the space bar .  Tab to the list box and you
may review the selected addresses.
8.  Tab to the "ok" box and press the space bar.
9.  Complete the rest of the email in the normal fashion.

Good luck.

Marvin
