Use mulitple e-mail addresses of a contact

[tim]

I wanted to send an e-mail to a contact's multiple addresses. I thought all
I would have to do is fill in all of their contact e-mails (ie e-mail, e-mail
2, e-mail 3) and it would send to all 3 addresses. It looks like I have to
create 3 different contacts of the same name, as it only goes to the e-mail
of the first e-mail.

Thanks for the reply. However, when I make a contact with multiple e-mail
addresses part of a group or distribution list, I believe it only sends to
their first or default address. I am manager of a soccer team. I created a
contact for each player. Some players parents also want to be kept informed
by e-mail, so instead of making the parents a contact also, I just put the
parent e-mails as additional e-mails of the player contact. When I send an
e-mail to the group, it only pulls the first e-mail address. Any ideas or
work arounds?

As Russ said, if you select the contact (from within the Contacts folder),
then click Actions>New Message to Contact, you'll see that ALL of the
contact's mail addresses are int he To field of the new message window that
opens. Didn't you even bother to try it before arguing it doesn't work?

Brian:

I was not "arguing". I did try your and Russ's solution, but I think that
was a solution for sending an e-mail to a single contact, not a distribution
list. I see now that when I populate the members of the distribution list,
if a single contact has multiple e-mail addresses, they appear in the
selection list under each other, depending upon the amount of alternate
e-mail addresses. I did not notice this to begin with, as I am also using a
computer with Outlook Express, which does not have this feature.

You never mentioned DL's at all when you posted. If you're now finished
supplying all the details, I fail to see any question here at all. DL's
permit you to enter any addresses you want. Why would you not simply add all
the addresses a Contact has if that's what you want to do?
