MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2005Outlook should let me select mail recipients from distribution li.
With Outlook 2003 unlike previous versions, to address an email to one or a few members of a distribution list, you have to enter the list in the To bar, expand the list and delete those members who you do not intend to send the email. In previous versions you selected the list, then Properties which opened the list and selected the member(s) to receive the email. This is not only more intuitive but also easier especially when you have a long list. Outlook 2003 is the first version that even allows you to change the recipients in a DL on a per message basis. No previous versions even supported that.

I disagree. I have been able to create my own list in previous version of Outlook, then select anyone from the list and send an email to that individual. > With Outlook 2003 unlike previous versions, to address an email to one or a > few members of a distribution list, you have to enter the list in the To bar, > expand the list and delete those members who you do not intend to send the > email.

You can easily select from among recipients within the Outlook Address Book interface, but DL's have provided no such option until Outlook 2003. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I disagree.

I misspoke. What I was talking about was Groups that you can create in your address book. > Provide the steps and the version. > You can easily select from among recipients within the Outlook Address Book [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >> not > >> only more intuitive but also easier especially when you have a long list. Indeed. Not an Outlook feature. You were using the Windows Address Book not the Outlook Address Book. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I misspoke.
