I have a large database of contacts that has not been assigned categories. I
can use FIND to create a contact list of customers that I want to email the
same message.

How can I create a Distribution List of only the selected contacts from the
FIND? And then, how do I send the email to each of the contacts in the
list?

Or, is there a better way to do the bulk email using Outlook 2003?

Thanks in advance,

Robert Ruland

You can't, as far as I can tell.

And then, how do I send the email to each of the
contacts in the list?

Once you have a DL, just put the DL in the recipient field.

Some form of sending individual emails is the way to go. Either try mail
merge (look it up in the help) or try our email scheduler
(http://www.repeatmail.com) which will allow you to send multiple individual
emails, html or plain text, with attachments, either as a one-off or
regularly at a specified time and interval. The recipients list can be drawn
from your Outlook Contacts, a plain text file,database or spreadsheet. It
also allows you to specify the interval between each send so as to avoid
triggering any spam limits on your account
