Greetings,
Outlook2007, WinXPPro SP3.

I'm wondering if there is a way to add "Category" as a column to the Select
Names dialog box. When I want to send a message to only a certain type of
vendor, it would be great if I could see the categories (and sort by that
column) so that I could find the ones I'm looking for more quickly.

(As an aside, a distribution list won't work because I don't always want to
send the message to everyone in a specific catagory.)

Thanks to all for any suggestions.

Nope, not possible. But you can also sort your Contacts folder, select the
contacts that you want and use Actions-> Create-> New Message to Contact.

If the receivers should not be aware of the other recipients, then you can
use copy them to the BCC field or use a mail merge.
