    Hi,


    I know how to do distribution lists etc in Outlook but is there a way of doing a Distirbution list that is:

    To: Person A
    CC:Person B & C.

    I just can't seem to see an "easy and simple" way to do it? Or anyway as it happens! Does using a comma do it? I am an end user by the way. Not an admin. I have this feeling that I could ask the IT Admin to do it on the server? But I'd like to be able to di it on my local PC.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You should use a semicolon, but a comma will work in Outlook 2000+.

    When you do distribution lists its always wise to do BCC if you want the list to remain secure

    Yeah I know that but all I am after is a way to click on the list, say "Microsoft" and that it sends the mail too one person and CC's the other two.

    I'm thinking it might not work actually as the list get puts into the "To" box.. Unless...

    ah I dunno.

    Unfortunately DL's don't work that way - you decide as the originator whether the main is To or CC. Also, you as the receiver make your own decision as to how you handle the mail. Could the 2 people who are being CC'd simply set up a rule to move the mail to an appropriate location?

    In outlook 2003 it's
    tools - options - preferences - email options - advanced email options - allow comma
    ( it varies a lot on earlier versions )

    in answer to the original question Lists are not Rules.


    tools - options - forms - design - message
    fill in the fields with semicolons between the names (because comma usage is per profile per user per machine specific) and save as an outlook template.

    double click on the saved file to start a message.
