How to send a single email to 145 addressees

[Guest]

I run a small business and must often send emails to as many as 145
addressees. It is important that it be a single email and that the
recipients be able to see that all the other addressees also received it. We
want them to be able to "reply to all". I cannot seem to succesfully send
any email with more than 99 addressees. I've been told that Outlook imposes
a limit of 99 addressees per email but cannot find that in the documentation.
My service provider says their limit is 1024 per email so that should not be
the problem. Any help or suggestions on this issue, please

the outlook limitation is by character count, not a set number of addresses.
you could try using two DLs but I don't think it will make a difference.

Thanks Diane. Do you know what the character count limit is? Also, are you
implying that a single DL or two DL's (not the 145/150 separate emails I
currently use (copied from a data base)) might solve the problem?

a dl (or two, if one fails) *might* help - but it might not make a
difference either.
I thought the limit was like 1024 characters - paste the list of names into
notepad or word and do a character count.

What you really should use is a mailing list - then a reply goes to the list
and it sends it to the recipients - they don't need to mess with remembering
to reply to all. yahoogroups has a free one or if you want to use your own
server, lsoft has a free lite version.

Thanks. I thought that some third party software might be the trick.
