As suggested by people on one of these newsgroups, I have abandoned
Outlook's broken distribution list functionality to use this
"Categorize" feature.

So I now have my hundreds of individuals all categorized and I want to
send an email to everyone in a certain category. I do not see any
sign that this functionality is supported, in fact, it seems like
Microsoft actually broke the functionality intentionally.

I have created my email and have opened my contacts. I sorted based
upon category, selected the items in the category and dragged those
items to the "To..." field in my email. Outlook actually filled this
field with, literally, EVERY PIECE OF TEXT within each of those
contacts. NONSENSE.

OK, so attempt #2 now.

I right clicked on my selected contacts to select the "New email"
option. IT DOES NOT EXIST.


OK people deeples, I have gone with your suggestion on using
categories instead of distribution lists so can you tell me where I'm
supposed to go from here?
