Vista - How do I open Distribution list once its in the email?

milamo · 03-02-2009

With my previous version of outlook on XP when I wanted to forward an email I could click on my distribution list, then there would be a little plus sign next to it so I could open it up and see all the names in the TO field, then I could manually delete selected contacts I didnt want that email to go to.

With Vista mail there is no little plus sign to do this.

Please help!!!

You can't do that with Windows Mail. You can save the message as a Draft,
then re-open it, and delete selected contacts..
The newer Windows Live Mail allows you to do what you want.
