Personal Distribution List

Is there anyway I can preserve the distribution list name in the To: field
when sending a message. The name of the distribution list is preserved when
the list is created in GAL?

Not as far as I can tell. SMTP protocol requires the expansion of the list
when the client sends the message to the server.

That said, create another contact whose name matches your DL name, giving
that new contact your own email address. Then when you send a mesasge, put
that contact in the To field and put the real DL in the Bcc field.
