sending e-mail to personal distribution list

[Appache]

Hi,

I received a distribution list from another person in my organization and it
is not a global distributionlist. I want to send an email to distribution
list but when I open and select all the items in the personal
distributionlist and click send a message to this contacts icon button
outlook gives a message "First select a valid email adress for this contact"

Could you please tell me how can I send an email to personal distribution
list I got from someone else?

 

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

Put the DL in the To: field of a message. Why would you open the DL?

 

[Appache]

It doesn't allow me to put it in the To: and when I open addressbook it is
not there.
Do I need to add it in the DL list? if so how?

Anything else you want to add to this story? You've done something wrong,
but we can't tell what.
You need to configure your Outlook Address Book correctly so that it is
displaying the Contacts Folder in which you placed this DL.
You can also select the DL from your Contacts Folder.

Depends on how the DL was sent. To open and save it in your own Folder, it
must have been sent as an Outlook Item in an RTF message.

Hi,
It was sent as an attachment but I do not know if it is RTF message. By the
way, what is RTF message?

When I double click the attachment (DL), the same thing come up to the
secren when you go to contacts folder and double click on the any
distribution list. That's why I asked if it is possible to import the
attachment in contacts in outlook. It is exactly the same and all the members
of the DL is in there when I double click the file.

RTF = Rich Text format. When the sender uses this message format to insert a
DL as an Outlook Item, all you need to do is open it and save it, and it
will go to your default Contacts Folder.

list again cause it has 300 items.

Any suggestion?
