WINDOWS MAIL

[HAMMERDJ]

IS THERE A SIMPLE WAY TO CREATE MAILING LISTS IN WINDOW MAIL AS COULD BE DONE
IN OUTLOOK EXPRESS. I HAVE CREATED FILES FOR ALL MY VARIOUS MAILING LISTS BUT
CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO SELECT THEM FOR MAILING. WINDOWS MAIL COMBINES ALL
MY CONTACTS IN ONE LIST WHEN I CLICK "TO". IT TAKES FOREVER TO GO THROUGH
THAT LIST AND SELECT THE ONES I WANT TO MAIL TO. ANY HELP WOULD BE
APPRECIATED.

Remember one thing : Newsgroup's etiquette...... do NOT compose entirely in
capital letters.
When you click TO, you'll see a FIND box.
1.) Enter the first one or 2 letters of the recipient's name. That will
narrow down the choices.
2.) If your mailing list is organized in First name first, enter the first
name. Last name first, enter the last name.

Mail lists in Windows Mail are called "groups". They don't work quite the
same as in OE.
To send to a group, just type in or select the group name. You can't pick &
choose from recipients in the group, unless you save the message as a draft
first, then reopen it.

The newer Windows Live Mail calls them Categories, and they are easier to
work with.
