    duplicate email issue: best practice

    hello...new to F1 and trying to tweak our setup a bit:)  this question is in regards to sending out a "church-wide" email...what is the best way to make sure every email address in the system receives an email without being duplicated...here's why i ask...currently, we have some households that use a "family" email address...so if i put the address as the household address, and then send an email to every active "attendee", it sends an email to every member of that family (which means that the same email address gets mailed 5 times)...we were going to just put the family email address under one person in the family, but then realized that if we wanted to target a specific group (i.e. men's group), the husband wouldn't receive an email, because we had put the address under the wife's name...any suggestions out there?

     thanks!

    We put the email as attributed to the husband and to the wife.  But they get 2 emails. Haven't found a better way to deal with this.  Hope F1 changes something to allow unique households only on an email.
