I created the list but as said the address is not getting displayed as DL instead it shows up individual names in the sent items. Also not showing up for others. How to make it permanent/uneditable in global address book and make it look as DL instead of individual names?

I have finally discovered a “trick” to add names easily into a Distribution List. Let’s say you have received an email from someone sending a “broadcast” email with names you want to select, you’ll need to REPLY TO ALL or open the message and RESEND to get all the names in the To box. However, do not try to copy directly from this email message since the addresses are not properly formatted and look like this “John Doe .” Instead, you’ll need to click on the To box in your open email (either REPLY TO ALL or RESEND) to open the To box up to the “Select Names: Contact” box. You’ll see the same names in the To box EXCEPT that the names will all be underlined. This means that the email addresses are embedded into the names shown. You can then copy these names and proceed with the directions given in this column.

This would be very useful. I have 1000’s of emails from job applicants and have been trying to find a way to build a DL without adding each individual to my contacts. Seems so obvious.

It has been my experience that the ISP (Verizon in my case) sets the maximum number of recipients. I use hosted exchange.

Does anyone know what the maximum number of names you can put on a distribution list is? It seems I often have to break up my lists and send out in smaller groups to get it to send? ANy suggestions??

copy the names, follow the above steps, click on select members then paste in the “Members field” worked for me….

Did you get an answer to this. I do the same things with student emails. I don’t want them all in my address book, just copy and paste their email into a Disb list to use for the rest of the course.

stupid MicroSoft…such a simple thing that would be so helpful…duplicating an already created distribution list so that it could be edited and renamed for another purpose (others added or removed)…sigh
