How to make Contact Categories equal Distribution List

[Centrol]

Whenever I add in a new contact, I will specify the category.

Question:

is it possible to auto-add contacts in category, say 'Client' to the
'Client' distribution list?

if not, how to email to all the contacts in a particular category? I don't
seem to be able to do it.
If it cannot be done, what is the use of having the category?

With categories, you don't need DLs. To mail to a category, display your contacts folder by category, select the category and drag to your inbox.
