Remove duplicate emails to same recipient email address

[Guest]

In emailing students (actually their parents) info about our school I want to
have the email remove duplicate recipient emails.

For example, I'll be sending an email to "ALL SCHOOL." In the distribution
list there may be the same email listed 4 different times for the 4 children
attending the school. Or, I may send an email to Kindergarten and 3rd grade
and both those grades have siblings, so they will get the email twice. How
do I have Outlook remove the duplicate emails?

Have you verified it that it actually does this? It doesn't do this for me
even when I've put my own address in the To and CC field.

No, you are correct. I have not verified this, but I'm assuming it is going
to do it as the recipients are named differently, yet they have the same
email addresses. For example, Son1 Smith ([email protected]), Son2 Smith
([email protected]), Son3 Smith ([email protected]), these all have different
contact names, yet they all have the same email addresses.

Run a test and you'll know for sure. I don't think the display name matters.
