The address book module enables you to perform several operations on multiple contacts. For example, to send a message to multiple contacts, use the address book instead of opening the compose window in the Messages and typing the contacts manually.
The options appear when you select the contacts and right-click. To select multiple contacts, select the check box next to the contact. You can select all contacts by selecting the check box next to Display Name at the top of the results area.
