Advanced Find and Distribution List

[Frank Perugini]

I am trying to find messages that I sent to a Distribution List. In
the Advanced Find dialog, if I select the Distribution List name using
the Select Names Dialog, it puts the DL name (in bold) in the Sent To
field.

When I run the find however, it does not match any messages. The
messages themselves have then To field expanded (of course) to include
the entire list of addresses in the DL.

I thought the Advanced find implemented some fancy trick to match the
list, but it looks like it can't do it.

Does anyone know how to do a find that will find messages sent to a
Distribution list?

Thank you.

Frank,

You may want to try the new Outlook search tool available Lookout V1.2.
This searches all of Outlook and is extremely fast due to indexing.

The search is so fast that it will allow you to search for contents in the
email sent to the distribution list and not just on the name.
