Hi,

One of my users (using OL2000 SP3 on Exchange 2000) has put a
considerable amount of time into organising and maintaining a contacts
list in her Outlook Contacts folder.  She used subfolders to group
contacts.  
She now wants to send a mail to all contacts in one subfolder.
When she selects File - New - Mail Message, and clicks on the Address
Book to select recipients, the drop-down list only shows (besides
Exchanges GAL) the top-level folders that she created in her contacts
folder.  
Also, right-clicking on a subfolder doesn't give the option to "Send
mail to all these contacts", you can't select all conctacts and
right-click to send a mail to them, and when you drag all of the
contacts into the To-field of a new message, the entire address
details of all selected contacts are copied in the To field.

Is this really a limitiation of Outlook ?  Who has a useable
work-around ?

Many thanks,

Joris.

Did she remember to enable these subfolders as email address books in their
properties?
