Distribution List

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a distribution list where I removed 2 names by clicking on them and
clicking the remove button in Outlook 2003. The names are then removed.

My problem is that when I send an email using that list the 2 names are
still there. When I open the + sign I see the names, but when I look at the
distribution list the names are gone. Can you tell me where the names and
emails were moved to so I can delete them from the list. I also click the
update now button but that did not help.

Thanks,

Mike

When you compose a message and enter this DL in the recipient field, did you
re-resolve the address (i.e., CTRL-K - Check Names) or did you click To and
add the DL name from the address book again?

I clicked the to button and added the list from the contacts by doubling
clicking the dl name.

I'm afraid I don't have any good suggestions.

Not sure why no one ever believes me when I say DL's don't work and no one
should use them. Users prove my point every day.

Russ,
I have about 100 names for our booster club. What would be another way to
compile the names and mass email? Is the DL a bug in outlook?

Thanks,
Mike

DL's are a permanent bug.
Most people use categories or separate Contact subfolders to group contacts,
according to their needs.
