I did not see the following in SM ...
Very interesting if per exemple a guy send me an interesting info, that i will "Forward" to a distribution list. but this distribution list contains his mail adress. The following possibility permit to use the distribution list, and easely remove his mail adress just for this "Forward" action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how to do it with Outlook, see: http://www.cijoint.fr/cjlink.php?file=cj200812/cijyeZ0Etl.jpg
(click on the image, then maximize the window to be able to read it correctly)
After selecting the distribution list in a new message, before sending it ....just click on (1) then (2) then remove some recipient(s) 
---------------------------------------------------------------
In short - We need to send a mail to a "distribution list" removing, just for this mailsend action, only one or more email-destination(s)...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a mail(new, reply, forward...any other way of creating a mail)
2.Choice for TO: or CC: or BCC: .. a distribution list
3.Don't send the mail yet
Actual Results:  
We are unable to transform the choiced distribution list into individual email adresses.

Expected Results:  
It would be nice if we can expand the choiced distribution list transformed in such a way, that only all individual email adresses are shown/used.
After this step done ("special expand") we will then be able to delete one or more email.

I'm using a very old version of Eudora.  If I select a distribution list for an E-mail message as a TO, CC, or BCC addressee, I must then expand the list to its individual components (addresses).  I can then remove any of the displayed addresses.  This feature is one of the reasons I still use an 11-year-old E-mail application.
