How can I get Outlook to use the email-2 field as opposed to the default email field pls?

's Computer Specifications

Folks,

Most of my contacts have two email addresses. One is their normal email
address and the other one, stored in the email-2 field is the their
emergency one which is used to send messages to their pagers. Now, I want to
be able to page all my field staff in an emergency.

Identifying them is easy enough, I just set up a view on the contacts folder
which filters for the group of people I want to page. However, when I start
a new message to them, Outlook takes them email from the regular email
field. Does anyone know how I can tell it to use email-2 instead please?

Thanks.

Post your Outlook version. If earlier than 2002, post your mail support mode
as well.

In Outlook 2002, each electronic address is listed separately. That affords
you the opportunity of creating a Distribution List that contains only the
e-mail 2 addresses and then sending to that DL.
