Tell us more about this list and what you plan to do with it.

Mail List Set Up
 

Open Outlook, open contacts. Ctrl+Shift+L this will open a Distribution
list. Enter a Name. Click on Select Members, and select the members from
your Contacts, click Update Now, and then Save and Close. You can later open
the Distribution list and add and remove.

I keep about 25 distribution lists all starting with a number so that they
are at the beginning of the Contacts list.

50 might exceed your ISP's limit. Better check as some will not accept the
message, some will simply truncate at the limit and not let you know...

Even 50 is too many for me to keep track of in a list. I'd rather use categories and a mail merge.
