Besides using distribution lists--I want to send emails to small groups of
contacts
chosen at random. When I try to drag them from the Category view to the
email, the entire contact information inserts into the BCC window. instead of
just the email address. What is the easiest way to do this?

So how is it that a Category constitutes a "small group of Contacts chosen
at random?" What do you mean dragging from the Category view to an email?
Your post makes no sense. Post more accurately please.

True Russ it doesn't make much sense. But in meanwhile I figured out the
answer.
In the category with a category of 100 contacts--select a number of contacts
while holding down the Ctrl key and click on the Mail Icon in th tool bar.
Viola, the email screen opens with the contacts nestled in the To: window.
The only messy move is getting them down to the Bcc window. For now I
highlight and drag them but it is tedious. Thanks--any other idea's

That method and the "Actions > New Message to Contact" method will only
place addresses in the To: field. There is no alternative but to cut and
paste if you want them in the BCC field.
