2.10. Distribution Lists

Sending a mail to a distribution list is done in the same way as sending a mail to a single contact. Simply select the distribution list from the address list when adding entries to a TO, CC or BCC field. After selecting the distribution list, all mailaddresses will be placed in the chosen header field.

Select the Contacts folder the new distribution list has to be created in. Select the option Distribution List from the New button on the tool bar. A dialog as shown in Figure 2.52, “New Distribution list window” will open.
