Outlook 6 Question from Luddite
 

Say I keep 20 messages in a sub-folder. I want to send the same message to each address. How do I do this please? I thought "Reply All" might be the answer but it isn't. I don't want to put them in address book. Thanks, David

Sorry, don't follow.

You have 20 e-mail messages in a folder. You want to send a new e-mail to the people addressed within those 20 e-mails??

Sorry if I wasn't clear (getting old :rolleyes: )

Basically I sell things by mail order and for one item which I sell I trawled through all my sent mail and selected about 20 mails which I had replied to but had had no feed-back and put them in a sub-folder. I now want to send them all a basic message e.g. "I hope you got the information I sent you - are you ready to place an order" or something like that. Now I can do it message by message using copy and paste but I wondered if there was a way that this same message could be sent easily to everyone in the sub-folder? So I think the answer to your question is YES... Thanks, David

Then the answer, AFAIK, is no. I don't know of anyway that you can highlight x number of e-mails and perform a send to the addresses contained in each of the To:, From:, CC: or BC: fields.

Either you pick addresses from an Address Book or copy 'n paste from a list held somewhere else.

Thanks for reply. Seems odd that this facility doesn't exist. I have also found that I cannot print off a draft e-mail directly which again seems strange as one would think that people might want to print off a draft as hard copy for comment or approval before final version is sent. Thanks again, though. David

you could enter all the email addresses into a new distribution list... copy and paste is pretty quick with ; after each address. Quickest way I can think of is to copy and paste into a text document, then tranx over to the distribution list. You cannot jump back and forth between the dist list and the emails which is why it's easier to pop on a text doc first. Quite a palava if you're only sending one email though... better to cut and paste the message instead.

Outlook 2003 can print draft messages *shrug*
