Using Categories to add names to a distribution list

[KSymmers]

I'm creating an e-mail campaign using distribution lists. Rather than wading
through hundreds of names in the contact list, I want to add all contacts
within a specific category (or filter all the contact list names by category,
then select a subset). Any ideas as to how?

Hi,

I'm not sure, buy your post sounds like it may be similar to the one I put
up. I was trying to group multiple people who work for a single business
into a group of contacts under outlook category view.

I'm not sure if this link to my post will work for you, but it was posted on
3/6/2005 under Outlook Business Contact Manager. And the title is "Outlook
Category View should allow you to group people by company." The post follows:

I currently use category view to seperate contacts by friends, customers,
suppliers etc. It would be nice if I could consolidate all the contacts from
a given company into one appearance in Category View.

When you click on that company, it would bring up either the last contact
you actually used or a contact that you assign priority to. Then you could
use "Back & Forward" Buttons to go through the rest of the contacts from that
company.

Also it would be nice if you could put a check mark by all the contacts you
would like to normally send an e-mail to if you are e-mailing that group.
