How do I send same email to many contacts?
I have carefully compiled my contacts list so I can "find" everyone in a
particular category but have not done "distribution lists" because several people fit more than one. But how do I send a group an email? I managed it in Outlook Express by having separate address lists and even managed "undisclosed recipient". I can't understand micrsoft's instructions, or indeed find them! I'm using XP Professional

Use the By Category view of your Contacts.
Select a Category Actions New Message to Contact -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jo Foster" wrote in message ...

How do I send same email to many contacts?
I didn't put any categories on the contacts list, just a keyword or place or
committee name in the notes section. This works for the purposes of pulling up all those relevant contacts using "find", e.g. Haringey Council, or farm committee or farm staff. So I decided to add categories in the space provided only to find that you must choose from a pre-assigned list: business, phone, etc. Can't I insert my own categories? I know I receive emails addressed to "friends and family" or "political" or "elephants". "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Use the By Category view of your Contacts.

How odd.
You said you created categories. Next time, say what you mean. It'll save us some time. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jo Foster" wrote in message news  I didn't put any categories on the contacts list, just a keyword or place or committee name in the notes section.

Change to Phone List view and then you can select a whole bunch of people.
If you do get around to Categorising, grouping by Category is useful. There are many posts here about mailmerging. Try a search. -- Judy Gleeson, MVP Outlook www.acorntraining.com.au author of Productiv_IT with Outlook "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... How odd. You said you created categories.

How do I send same email to many contacts?
I am not a geek and didn't mean creating categories in a technical, more a
general, sense. I just inserted one or more keywords in the notes section, which is adequate for the purpose of isolating a group of relevant people in most instances, though obviously not for emailing. Thanks to your earlier reply, I am well on the road to success, having observed that by inserting a category code in the space ALONGSIDE the category button these contacts then appear together in category view. I haven't tried emailing them yet as I still have 300 to enter. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How odd. You said you created categories. Next time, say what you mean.
