HELP!

I mistakenly deleted a group from my address book and I
am looking for a way to recover those addresses. Any
suggestions besides not making the same mistake twice?

As someone else has suggested here before, if you have ever sent mail to
that group before, all the recipients should be available from one or more
of the messages sitting in your Sent Items folder.

Since I chose to hide the addresses form other members of
the group. looking in the sent items folder is useless.

I don't think there's another solution, unless you can inspect the OE
Database file in BBEdit and try to extract the addresses manually from
there.  This is laborious and not guaranteed to work, but if those addresses
really are essential, you might want to give it a try.
