How do I send a distribution list by email?
I want to send a distribution list to another email address using Outlook.
The online help suggests going to insert/item. My drop down under insert has no item option. |

I just tried to retrieve this DL from the computer I had sent it to. No
attachments arrived with the email. "Brian Tillman" wrote: jewellbox wrote: I want to send a distribution list to another email address using Outlook. The online help suggests going to insert/item.

Use the Insert Item command.
It's there. You did not specify your Outlook version or editor, so I can't tell you where. Did you look beside the attachment icon? (it looks like a paper clip). -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "jewellbox" wrote in message ... I just tried to retrieve this DL from the computer I had sent it to.

Thank you so very much! You are exactly right; The insert/item is beside
the attachment icon. I understood it was under the insert command. Again, Thank you! "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Use the Insert Item command. It's there.

How do I send a distribution list by email?
I was able to email the distribution list successfully via the insert item
command, but what does the recipient need to do in order to save the list and be able to use it? |

How do I send a distribution list by email?
This isn't working for me using Outlook 2003. I have made sure I am using
Rich Text Format. I am using the drop down arrow to select Item next to the paperclip. What can I be doing wrong or what setting can I change? This is very frustrating. Thanks.

How do I send a distribution list by email?
Question for 2007. I was able to send the DL, but when it was receieved and
they tried viewing the contents of the members an error message appeared saying "Could not find contact. it may have been deleted or moved form its original location. Would you like to reove it from the list?" I select No, double click on the contact and I get the properties of the email properties. I would like the receipent to see all the info pertaining to that contact. Any ideas? "jewellbox" wrote: I want to send a distribution list to another email address using Outlook.

How did you create the DL? In what information store did it reside?
How did you send it? -- Russ Valentine "HappyFace06" wrote in message news Question for 2007.

How do I send a distribution list by email?
You need to understand DL's. They contain names and electronic addresses.
Period. Nothing more. They do not contain other Contact data. If they remain in the original information store, they contain a very fragile link to the Contact Records from which they were created. Since you broke that link, you get the error and the behavior you see. -- Russ Valentine "HappyFace06" wrote in message news Question for 2007.
