"To" email groups
 
If I send emails to the same groups of people how can I create a "To" email
address that includes everyone I am sending to, as opposed to typing each
individual email address?

The usual way is to create a Distribution List. In Outlook do
File-New-Distribution list.
However, these can be cumbersome to administer and don't transfer from one
Outlook to another easily.
If your version of Outlook supports them, you are far better advised to use
Categories in your Contacts folder instead.

Gordon: I did the file-new-distribution format and it worked. Thank you so
much for your help.

YW - but I would still investigate Categories - particularly if the D/L
grows by much...

message from Administrator "your message did not reach some or all of
intended recipients"
Under each e-mail address it said ' 452 Too many recipients'

That would appear to be a limit that your ISP sets. You need to check with
them.
The way round it is to do a Mail merge.
Have a look he
