I have a similar question:
I have a large (to me) distribution list that needs to be divided into four
separate groups. I sent the DL as an attachment to myself as a backup. Then I
went into the groups and deleted the appropriate files in the groups.
However, when I checked the list in my contacts each message shows only the
names choosen doring the last editing. As a resuli in my contacts list group
I have only 1/4 of our list.

I have the un-edited DL on the e-mail message I sent to myself - as an
attachment and I have a current copy printed out as well; so I have plenty of
backup.

When I click on the attachment I bring up the full un-edited DL.

I didn't want to manually retype the names in the new groups but it
appearing that this may be my only option.

Is there a way to import the attachment as a DL Group to save that much of
the list?

Using Distribution lists is a frustrating method for ruining your day. Use
categories to group people and then drag the category to the inbox to create
a new mail.

Thanks Milly I'll give it a try. I should have read further a couple minutes
ago.

As I said I have restoret the original list now I need to divide it into
four. I'll try the Categories.

The reason I need to do this has to do with the number of SMTP contacts by
many ISP's is limited to 40 or 50 and I am getting a lot back and not
reaching all our subscribers.

Thanks again . . . bigtime!

Then I would ask your ISP for an allowance for a particular DL to send as a
business user. Many ISPs will make exceptions for clubs. organizations,
etc. that are organized by private individuals - they just need to set a
rule on their server.

FYI I have been able to import the e-mailed attachment of our distribution
list back into my contacts group. Now is there a way to divide the list into
four separate groups without havint to retype the data
