Windows Mail preferred e-mail

[Guest]

Is there a way to send one e-mail to two different e-mail addresses for one
contact? Contacts lets me put as many e-mails for one contact as I want, but
I can only send something out to the "preferred e-mail". I really don't want
to have to create two contacts for one person then create a group just so
they receive an e-mail from in two different accounts. I used to be able to
separate e-mail addresses with a semicolon, but that doesn't seem to work in
this case.

I do use multiple contacts for a contact who has multiple email
addresses. The Group thing won't work for this in Windows Mail.
Glad to see they fixed that in Windows Live Mail.

Separating email addresses with semicolons still works for me.
You are talking about the 'To:' line, right?

Thanks for getting back so quickly! yeah, I am talking about the "To" line.
What is the difference between Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail?

Oh, can I add a Group to another Group? Say I make a group with two
contacts for the person with two e-mail addresses and then add that Group to
another Group in order to send just one e-mail to a larger Group?

Would you have the same thing if you put both groups on the To line?
You will only have one email in your sent folder.

There are lots of differences between Windows Mail and Windows
Live Mail. The best way to learn the differences is to try it out for
yourself.

Groups in WM are distribution lists. You can have multiple Groups
on the 'To' line, but there is no way to remove one recipient from
a Group; it is all or nothing. In WLM you can expand a Group on
the 'To' line and delete individual members of that Group on the fly.
