You can "almost" do that using Tools -> Address book:

  1. Create individual contacts (Address -> New Address), one for each
     member of the group.
  2. Create a group (Address -> New Group) and add the addresses to it.

Then, when sending an email:

  3. Open the Address book, select the group, select all the addresses
     in the group and click "To:" once, and then close the Address book.

I don't know if it's possible to put the group name directly as a
recipient.

Ciao,
