How to view a Contact's Distribution List membership

[Guest]

Hi there,

How can I tell what Distribution Lists a Contact is a member of and if
possible update it from within the contact as opposed to adding members from
within the DL. This was possible with Outlook Express and Address lists.

I've tried viewing as Phone List and customising the field but can't seem to
find the correct field. Also from within a Contact itself, where again is the
field?

thx

You can't. Membership in a DL is not a Contact property.

thanks, i think.
one of those few things where OE and address books has an advantage.
Pass it on to the developers as a future feature request.

It won't help. DL's have never been robust or useful nor are they the target
of any development. Most of us don't use them.
