Adding a contact to one or multiple distribution lists
When I'm either creating or editing a contact's folder I'd like the option to
add that contact to one or many of my existing distribution lists from within the contact's folder. Can I do that and if so, how?

No. Membership in a DL is not a Contact property. You can only add a Contact
to a DL from within the DL itself. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Andy E" Andy wrote in message ...

Adding a contact to one or multiple distribution lists
Thanks for your response Russ. I'm not sure MS policy however this might be
an excellent feature to consider. I use Outlook to manage almost 3,000 contact many of whom would like information and updates from me "pushed" to their email. I've created DL for various topics and would love to use manage their inclusion from the Contract property. Is there perhaps some other way other than through the DL itself?

There's a good reason this feature doesn't exist and won't. DL's are a poor
choice for grouping recipients. They are notoriously unreliable, difficult to maintain, and inflexible. You should consider Outlook's better and more robust methods for grouping Contacts such as Categories or separate Contact subfolders. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Andy E" wrote in message ...
