Sending e-mail from a group

I have currently got a goup set up in outlook with 3 e-mail address in it.

The problem I am having is with sending e-mails from the goup so that the
group address is shown to the recipient and not a individuals e-mail address
from the group.

This way when the recipient replies to the message it will go to the group
and not just the invidividual.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Confusing post.
Outlook does not use groups. It uses Distribution Lists. A DL does not have
an address, it contains addresses. Recipient need only use the "Reply to
All" command.
To what "address" were you expecting them to reply?
 
Thanks for your reply Russ

I can see what you mean. I am really just trying to figure out if it is
possible to set up a distribution list or some other method containing
multiple users addresss, which will allow recipients of the e-mail to reply
to the group as a whole.

For example I have a folder which has 3 users in it called info. When a
e-mail is sent to info@*** all users recieve a e-mail. I was wondering if
there was a way of allowing recipients reply to this group instead of typing
the address.

This is probably still confusing, I hope you can see where im going

All users receive an email because the group name is expanded into the
individual addresses when the message is sent. Accordingly, recipients can
respond to everyone just by using the "Reply to All" button.

What you're describing does not exist.

It sounds to me like you are trying to create an automated email discussion
list. Where people subscribe to the list and then anything sent to the list
is automatically distributed to all the other subscribers. As Russ said,
this is not something that comes built-in as an option in Outlook. However
if you're using Microsoft Exchange, I think you can set something like this
up, but the server administrator will need to create the group(s). If you
just have a POP3 email from your ISP or a hotmail account, you probably
won't be able to do it without some third party program. Although ask at
your ISP, as some of them do provide this.
