Google-groups – Email most, but not all, of the members of a Google Group

google-groups

I need to email many, but not all, of the members of a Google Group. I would like an easy way to create an email to my group, but "expand" the list of members so that I can delete a few that I do not wish to include in my email.

One way I've done this in the past is to use Google Calendar. I invite the group to a meeting, expand the group list, and then use "Email all attendees" to get a list of the members. The downside of this technique is that you have to create a meeting and invite everyone in the group to it.

Is there another a way to email most of the members of a Google group while not emailing some of them? I have admin permissions on the group, if that helps at all.
