MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / March 2008sending e-mail to personal distribution list
Hi, I received a distribution list from another person in my organization and it is not a global distributionlist. I want to send an email to distribution list but when I open and select all the items in the personal distributionlist and click send a message to this contacts icon button outlook gives a message "First select a valid email adress for this contact" Could you please tell me how can I send an email to personal distribution list I got from someone else?  SignatureThanks Put the DL in the To: field of a message. Why would you open the DL? SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Could you please tell me how can I send an email to personal distribution > list I got from someone else? It doesn't allow me to put it in the To: and when I open addressbook it is not there. Do I need to add it in the DL list? if so how? SignatureThanks > Put the DL in the To: field of a message.

Anything else you want to add to this story? You've done something wrong, but we can't tell what. You need to configure your Outlook Address Book correctly so that it is displaying the Contacts Folder in which you placed this DL. You can also select the DL from your Contacts Folder.

He send it me as an e-mail attachment. How can I import it in the contact list in Outlook? SignatureThanks > Anything else you want to add to this story?

To open and save it in your own Folder, it must have been sent as an Outlook Item in an RTF message.

It is a file with an extention .msg It is an outlook item (after extention there is a text message "Outlook item") SignatureThanks > Depends on how the DL was sent.

Have it sent the way I told you.

Hi, It was sent as an attachment but I do not know if it is RTF message. By the way, what is RTF message? When I double click the attachment (DL), the same thing come up to the secren when you go to contacts folder and double click on the any distribution list. That's why I asked if it is possible to import the attachment in contacts in outlook. It is exactly the same and all the members of the DL is in there when I double click the file. SignatureThanks > Have it sent the way I told you. > > It is a file with an extention .msg [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > >> >> >> > distribution > >> >> >> > list I got from someone else? RTF = Rich Text format. When the sender uses this message format to insert a DL as an Outlook Item, all you need to do is open it and save it, and it will go to your default Contacts Folder.

By [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] >> >> >> >> > distribution >> >> >> >> > list I got from someone else? So What I did wrong? I have the file and I need to import it into contacts. I can not create the list again cause it has 300 items. Any suggestion? SignatureThanks > RTF = Rich Text format.

Why can't you just have it resent to you properly? What happens when you open and save this item?
