sending e-mail by contact categories

[kurt]

With each contact entered, I have assigned various
categories. I would like to send an e-mail to all
contacts that have been assigned a certain category. I
have attempted viewing contacts by category. I would
think that I could then right-click on the category and
it would give me the option to send an e-mail. It does
not. It appears the preference is to create a
distribution list, altogether separate from the
categories. This seems quite redundant.

Has anyone conquered this yet?

Thanks a ton.

Try dragging the Category header to the Inbox, or selecting it and going to
Actions > New Message to Contact
