"CATEGORIES" Questions
Recently I have been experimenting with using Categories instead of DLs to
organize contacts into groups and send group emails. There are two things that happen that are annoying, and I wonder if there is a way to address them? 1. When I drag a category to my inbox in order to send an email to the category, the category expands, requiring me to go back and collapse the category each time it is used. 2. When I drag a category to the inbox in order to send an email, I get a warning message that "Creating a new item from the selected items could take some time . . ." I then have to close the warning in order for the new message window to come up. #1 and 2 above require two extra clicks in order to send an email to a category. I send lots group emails, so this is very inconvenient. Any way to prevent either from happending? Thanks, -- William |

(Actions, Create.... in Outlook 2007) May I barge into this thread? When I do Action, New Message to Contact (I have Outlook 2003) it adds all the address to the "To...." line. Can it be set up to add to the "Bcc..." line instead, otherwise I have to drag all the addresses to the Bcc field ? |
