Contacts, Distribution Lists and Searching

[AsianTiger]

I want to do a query on contacts based on involvement in a distribution
list. Is it possible?


Here are the specifics:
I have 300 contacts in a distribution list for an email newsletter.
I have 400 contacts that may or may not be in the email newsletter list
that I send a paper newsletter to These are in a "Mailing_List" category.
I want to do a query to find the addresses that are not in the email
distribution list, but are in the "Mailling_list" category...

Is there any way at all to do queries based on the participation in a
distribution list in outlook?

Thanks!

You'd need to code the solution yourself, e.g. with VBA.
