How do I exclude users from a Distribution List?
I use MS Outlook 2003 and I have the following question for all of you... I
have added all the people in my address book to one Distribution List (DL) and named it "Friends".. When I receive an e-mail from someone in my list ie Lisa and want to forward it to all my contacts normally i would type in the name of my DL in the To: field and send it. That way Lisa will receive her own e-mail again which can be disturbing sometimes. Is there a way I could use something like "Friends -Lisa" in the To: field to exclude Lisa from the recepients? |

No, but you can click on the + sign to expand the DL before sending and delete Lisa's name.

How do I exclude users from a Distribution List?
Use the File | Work Offline command to set Outlook to work offline. Create and send the item. Open it in the Outbox and delete the name. Click Send again. Toggle Outlook back online.

How do I exclude users from a Distribution List?
Thank you, it is a way around the problem but far too much to do when we're
talking about 20-30 or more e-mails a day. Thank you anyway.... "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Use the File | Work Offline command to set Outlook to work offline. Create and send the item. Open it in the Outbox and delete the name. Click Send again. Toggle Outlook back online. |

How do I exclude users from a Distribution List?
Um... if you are forwarding 20-30 or more emails to your friends daily, I
think you need to take a serious look at your habit and make sure everyone on your list wants that much junk forwarded - many may consider it spam. (If I were on your friends list, I'd have your address on my junk senders list by the end of day 2.) If going offline is too much work, this should work - you could set a rule to hold all messages for xx minutes, then just go into the outbox, open the message and remove the name. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "wizzywow" wrote in message ...
