Creating a Mailing List in Outlook

[bill marsano]

That's what I want--a simple mailing list, or 'group,' created from m
own Contacts Directory, so I can just click one or two keys and send a
e-mail to many, many people. (Instead of adding dozens of e-dresses on
at a time)

It used to be simple to do this in old Outlook Express. In fanc
Outlook 200s, however, all I find is a lot of stuff about Merge Mai
and a lot of instructions re envelopes--real mail, in other words

Simple instructions for this simple task much appreciated

Outlook has always had the same ability. The counterpart to "groups" in OE
is Distribution Lists.
Not complicated at all: File > New > Distribution List...
Outlook has many better alternatives as well, but since you want to keep it
simple, just use DL's and complain back if they don't do what you want.
