Windows mail: Distribution Lists

Folks,

Sorry, this seems like a silly question, but how do I set up a distribution
list in Windows Mail? I cannot find any menu or option in either mail or in
contacts.

Thanks!

Re: Windows mail: Distribution Lists

They are called "Groups". You should see a button for adding a New Group in
the Contacts folder.

Re: Windows mail: Distribution Lists

Dave,

Thank you.

That is what I thought they were called, but I cannot find any such option
when I open Windows contacts. It just opens as if it were a standard folder
in Explorer.

Any suggestions as to what to do next would be greatfully received!

Cheers,
Chris

Re: Windows mail: Distribution Lists

Open Contacts, right click in an empty area of the Contacts window, select
Properties, Customize tab, select Contacts from the folder type template drop
down list, and check the subfolders check box, click Apply, and then click OK.

Brilliant! Thank you, it worked a treat!

Now to watch England stuff the French at rugby! After of course watching the
Irish beat the Scots. Now where did she hide the bottle opener this time.....?
