Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: at least one of one or more computing devices identifying a first distribution list and a second distribution list of email message recipients, wherein the first distribution list comprises two or more of the email message recipients, wherein the second distribution list comprises one or more of the email message recipients, wherein the first distribution list and the second distribution list are entered by a user into one of various designation sections of an email messaging interface of an email messaging application; at least one of the one or more computing devices mathematically evaluating the first distribution list and the second distribution list with a set operator resulting in a third list, wherein the third list is a replacement list of the email message recipients; at least one of the one or more computing devices saving an expression that comprises a replacement list name for the replacement list, a name or other representation for the first distribution list, a name or other representation for the second distribution list, and the set operator, wherein the saving is for future use of the replacement list referenced by replacement list name as a new distribution list for sending email messages, wherein each of the one or more computing devices comprises one or more processors, one or more non-transitory storage mediums, and program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory storage mediums, wherein the one or more processors execute the program instructions; and after saving the replacement list name, at least one of the one or more computing devices receiving and saving a change to the two or more email recipients in the first distribution list or at least one of the computing devices receiving and saving a change to the one or more recipients in the second distribution list; if the change to the first distribution list is made and after the change to the first distribution list is made, at least one of the one or more computing devices receiving an entry of the replacement list name within one of the various designation sections of the email messaging interface, wherein the replacement list name is evaluated using the expression by mathematically evaluating the first list as changed and the second list with the set operator; and if the change to the second distribution list is made and after the change to the second distribution list is made, at least one of the one or more computing devices receiving an entry of the replacement list name within one of the various designation sections of the email messaging interface, wherein the replacement list name is evaluated using the expression by mathematically evaluating the first distribution list and the second distribution list as changed with the set operator.
