Lets say I want to re-send an email to multiple contacts.
The only way I know how is to:

1. Open the email from the "Sent Items".
2. Go to the "Actions" menu and select "Resend This
Message"
3. Press the "Send" Button.
4. Close the original email message.

Boy is this a lot of work, especially when I have to do
this to 83 messages (I just did this - my fingers hurt).
I had to open all 83 messages, send all 83 and then close
all 83.

My Question... Is there a quicker way?

You would think to just select all the messages, right
click and there would be an option "Resend" - but sadly
this is not the case.

Thanks,
Steve K

Make sure Word is turned off as your email editor. Follow steps 1-2 below,
then press Ctrl+F to create a forwarding copy of the message. Add the
address(es) and send. Return to the open message, press Ctrl+F again, etc.

Why are you doing this anyway instead of doing a mail merge to send each
person their own copy with one command?
