I searched for distribution lists and came up empty as well as multiple contacts for email.

EAS won't allow you to setup a distribution list that you can access from the PRE. I stumbled upon this feature in gmail.

separate email addresses by a semicolon and I now have a distribution list via gmail.

I am now able to setup as many lists as I want. I currently have my EAS lists by grade levels and whole staff and I can now email with a click of a button. I don't know the email name limit yet. Still have many more list to setup in gmail.

This is something I have been needing since my Treo days!

dante that works but you have to manually insert each receipient into the 'to' field.

The OP is talking about a clever work-around to the fact that the Pre email cliend doesn't have a native way to create distribution lists or groups.
