Default sending mail to a group

Hello, how do I send mail to a certain group in my address book without
having to add every email address individually?
Thanks,
AJS

Post your Outlook version.
State what you mean by a "group in my address book." That term has no
meaning. Outlook does not use groups in the address book. It can, however,
use a Distribution List in your Contacts Folder.

In the Actions menu you will see New Distribution List. You can email
contacts to this list and just send your email to people in your desired
list.

Thanks Tom,
when I imported my address book from OE to OL, I got a message that
everything was successfully imported including one distribution list.
How do I open the DL? How do I add one? In the Actions menu there is no "New
Distribution List".
I am using Office 2003 SP2.
I wonder if it was a mistake switching from OE to OL.... opened up a can of
worms....

Most of the time, groups in OE will not be converted to Distribution Lists
in Outlook. The few times they are, you will find them in your Contacts
Folder.
You create DL's from the File Menu in your Contacts Folder, not the Actions
Menu.
