I'd like to send out a group email about the death of the mother of one of the group members. I need to temporarily remove him from the group. How do I do that? I cant display all of the group in my address line so I can cut his out, & can't figure out how to remove him from the group. (I'm afraid the delete button in his info will take his info out permanently, not just out of the group.

Thank you so much for the help! It was very simple. I had been afraid to try that for fear of deleting all my contact info from my main address book. I appreciate the help!

I appreciate the advice, but I must be too computer 'illiterate'. I couldn't get the add-on to download into my computer properly. Thanks.
