To send a DL in Outlook to another Outlook user, create a Rich Text message
and insert the DL as an Outlook object or drag it to the message form the
Contacts folder. Keep in mind that even then it still might not work. DLs
are particularly fragile.

assuming it is a list, not a DL form, you need to copy and paste it into a
new dl form. See http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/create/dl.asp - you
should need just the second half of the instructions for creating a DL.

if it arrived as a dl, drag it from the message to the contacts folder.
