Mass Distributions

[Bob Wyatt]

We have a contacts folder containing more than 1000 email addresses and 600
fax numbers. Without creating a distribution list, we want to be able to
send email distributions by selecting all email contacts in the folder...
WE don;t see a good way to accomplish this...
If we select all, we get both fax and email addresses in the list...
We want to exclude the faxes.
We thought of putting the fax number in a different filed, but that isn;t a
viable solution.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Bob Wyatt

1. See http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/nofax.htm
2. Outlook isn't a great way to send out mass mail like this. If this is a
recurring need, look into a listserv (either local or third party service)
that can handle bounces, subscribe/unsubscibe requests, etc. more
gracefully.

create a view that only shows those contacts with email addresses and use it
in your distribution
