Distribution Lists don't contain categories. If you're using categories on
your contacts, you don't need DLs.

So I would I go about sending a mail to a category?

I don't think you are answering the question. I have the same problem. I have
some names in my contact list that are all in the same category. I want to
send an email to eveyone who is in that category. How do I do that? I don't
want to have so select by NAME, I want to select by Category.

View your contacts in the By Category view. Click on a category. Click
ActionsNew Message to Contacts.

Thank you for explaining this. Because I am usually in the email part of
Outlook when I want to send an email to someone, it did not occur to me that
I could start an email from the Contacts page. Honestly, I spent a lot of
time in the Microsoft Help section and could never find the answer there.

Same answer was also posted 2 days ago in this very thread.

When I try to send the email to the Category group it flags the first contact
without an email. I don't have an email for them so I hit "Cancel" which then
seems to cancel sending the entire email. Any suggestions?
