GROUP MAIL

[hauulaguy]

I have set up a group mail list in windows mail; however, the message is not
sent. There is no error message and the message does not appear in the sent
file. I send the message by clicking on action, sned email and complete the
message and hit send but the message is not sent.

Sounds like you are doing it backwards. Instead of first opening Contacts,
then clicking on Action, Send E-mail, try this:

Compose the email message first, then click on To and select the Group.

Although your method should also work, it requires more intervention from
the default protocol assignments in Windows. Your Windows Mail may not
have all its defaults assigned. To remedy this:
Open the Default Programs applet, which you can access either from
the Start menu or via the Control Panel, then click the first item:
"Set your default programs."
After a few seconds, a list of programs comes up. Click on "Windows
Mail". If it doesn't respond with "This program has all its defaults"
then fix it by clicking on the option indicated by the first green arrow.

Thanks for your prompt help. It seems to have worked.
