Help e-mailing to a group using K-9

[timz99]

I regularly have to forward e-mails to a group of local residents. This is quite simple on my PC with Outlook Express - where I can create a group within the list of contacts.
I am struggling to so the same with my Nexus 7. After much frustration with the original pre-loaded e-mail app, I now use K-9 which is generally much better. I want to use the Nexus 7 to continue to forward these e-mails to the group while I am away on holiday, but so far have failed miserably. All I have managed to to is to create a group within my Nexus 7 'contacts' details (now called 'People') but I cannot find a way to get K-9 to recognise it as an e-mail multi-recipient group. Can anyone help, please?

Try this app. You'll have to create the group in Contacts, if I'm reading the description correctly.

Thanks for the tip. I guess I would have to set up a g-mail account first before I can do any of this, however. Is that right? I've managed to avoid using g-mail up until now...
