You do that by creating a group. Then, after you have all the individuals
addressed for that group, you give the group a name and when you enter that name
in the BCC field, the message will go to everyone on the distribution list.

I think you guys are all missing the point.
What tom wants to do, and what i have been trying to figure out for a while,
is how to easily include entire lists of addresses at once without having to
type each individual address.
If you wish to send a message to 100 people, you aren't going to go through
and type each individual address in the bcc field.
For instance, say i want to send a message to a specific group of friends,
say 10 of them. But, i don't want to type each individual address, i should
be able to tell outlook express in the To, CC or bcc field just one list
address that will then send messages to all the addresses contained within
that main list.
Also, Tom had a good point, spam is a real issue these days, spammers get
email addresses from list arkives, so the undisclosed resipients is a good
idea.
Not sure if outlook will do this though.
Creating sub lists within the address book is probably the way, but i don't
know how to do it.
regards
Colin
