IMO, the real problem is that a single message with hundreds of recipients is not the best way to manage this email nor to track who received what mailing. A better approach would be to use the database as the data source for a Word mail merge to email and to track who received the mailing within the database itself.

Hi Sue,
many thanks. But the ResolveAll doesn't resolve the problem.
The approach in the real world is that the email-addresses are taken from a
database and all the recipients receive a periodically information. After
sending the email, it is saved and in the database I create a link to the
saved email so still after some year I 'll know who received which mail.
The stupid VBA sample I created only to reproduce / show / explain the
problem.
best regards
Toni

You might try running Recipients.ResolveAll before you try to save.

I can't imagine what the purpose of your approach is, though.

Hi,
when saving a mail with a lot of recipients I receive an 'out of memory'
error. OL2003. Is this a bug of MAPI implemented by OL? See (nonsens)code
below to reproduce it.
best regards
Toni

Sub mailtest()
Dim myItem As MailItem
Set myolapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myolapp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
For i = 1 To 2300
Set myRecipient = myItem.Recipients.Add("[smtp:santaxf@dnetxxyyzz"
&
i & ".com]")
Next
myItem.Display
myItem.SaveAs "c:\temp\test.msg", olMSG
End Sub
