I just created a group, but when I tried opening contacts and the group to
select recipients for an email, the 'send email' choice was greyed out.
Apparently, this only works with a single addressee. This is just as bad as
having to send to everyone in the group, only harder.
The other option is just silly. I might as well just scroll through my
whole contacts folder and choose from that. It would be much simpler than
saving, opening from drafts, and deleting the ones I DON'T want to send to!
Is there any chance this will be fixed any time soon? I can't believe
Microsoft would deliberatly design something this screwed up.
