retrieve deleted email distribution list.

I've read earlier threads and they don't seem to apply in my case, because
I've always used the DL in the BCC field, so I can't see what the addresses
are that were in there.
I imported an archive Outlook file which did a great job on returning
hundreds of ancient emails to my in box but did nothing to restore the single
lost DL in the contacts folder. Any other ideas?
If I were getting paid for every hour I spend on this it would be one thing
but I'm a volunteer.

Open the pst in the profile - file, open, outlook data file - and browse the
Archive's contact list.

Note that I am assuming you are referring to a backup as an archive as
Contacts are not touched by Autoarchive. But it may not mater if you have a
sent message sent to the DL, you can get the names from the sent message.
