Distribution List - sending

Jocelyn,

Does the recipient HAVE to have Outlook for this to work? For example, if
the Recipients have Outlook Express will it work?

thanks,
Ron

Yes. A DL must be send as an attachment to a Rich Text message and only
another Outlook can receive Rich Text messages and do anything reasonable
with them.

I'm trying to send a message to a distribution list and I get a error message
: "Too many recipients"
I have 120 contacts in my list. Is it too much ? and why ?
There is a limit ?
Thank you for a response as soon as possible.

Outlook imposes no limit. Your ISP does. Talk to them.

I understand how to create and attach the distribution list to the email, but
I am struggling to do anything meaningful with it at the other end! If I do
as Jocelyn suggests, it attaches to the email fine. The recipient can open it
and it produces a list (which is also fine). My problem is you can only save
it as a message (.msg). Is there a way to add these to contacts? I tried
sending as a VCard and it attaches as a text; I then renamed the .txt to .vcf
and it brought up an error message. Am I missing something? Any help
gratefully received.

Drag the attached DL to your Contacts folder.
