Before to send an email to a Distribuition List i would like to check if all
the contacts that must be in the List, really are in the List. The type of
contacs in the List could be heterogeneous, so the task would be more easy if
i could arrange the contacts by the category assigned to each contact.

Can you be more specific?

It sounds like a category-based mail merge would do the trick for you. I
certainly don't understand what you are trying to accomplish.

Leonid,

How do you set up a category-based distribution list in Business Contact
Manager? Will I have to update it every time a new contact is added to the
category in my database? Or can the list be programed update itself every
time a new business contact is added to that category?

Ack I forgot to answer this one...

Sorry Jamie!

It's not a distribution list as you see it, but it's a filtered list of your
contacts. I answere this yesterday, so here's a repost.

This can be done with a filtered view and mailmerge.

It's somewhat difficult to explain, but works.

You would basically customize your view to include only the categories you
want to send to, and then simply run Tools -> Mail Merge [To e-mail]

How to customize views:

I use a more advanced trick, but that requires making a video to explain.
