Somehow I can't update changes in a contact e-mail address.  Any distribution
list that included the old address reverts back to to the old address.  Very
aggravating.  Help, please!

Distribution Lists contact addresses do not get updated automatically when
the corresponding contact's e-mail address is changed. This is a major
disadvantage of using Distribution Lists.

Many people prefer to use Categories instead as they let you do most things
that DLs do without the disadvantages.

If you will do mailings with your DL, you may want to look at eMailMerge
4Outlook (www.addins4outlook.com) which lets you use categories to achieve
what DLs do.
