I'm using Outlook 2002. If I'm in contacts, click on a contact who has 2 or
more email addresses, then select Actions, New Message to Contact, a new
message will open which has all their email addresses stored in that contact.
BUT if I use CTRL to select more contacts, only the top email address is
added to the email. The same thing happens if I create categories, then
select all in that category and do New Message to Contact. I need to be able
to include all the emails listed on the contact.

Can anyone tell me how I can do this and why it will do it for a single
contact but not multiple ones?

Thanks much!
Dawn

Behaving as designed. Outlook is designed to offer all electronic addresses
for a single Contact but only the first address for multiple Contacts since
that's the behavior most users prefer. Few users want to send to every email
address for multiple recipients. You might want to consider using a DL or
the Outlook Address Book for other ways to select your recipients.
