Default outlook 2003 - prevent public folder distribution lists expanding?

A coworker noticed when she sent an email addressed to a distribution list
of board members in a Public Contacts folder, the distribution list was
expanded when the email was opened by other people on our network. We'd
prefer that it stay compressed, the same way that Active Directory
distribution groups do, i.e., with the "+Board" sign, rather than with the
individual board member emails. Is this possible?

Exchange 2003, Outlook 2003.

Thanks,

Doug

Is it possible?

Sure.

Have an Exchange Admin create an Exchange DL so it doesn't expand.

Personal DLs, whether they are in a public folder or a personal contacts
folder, always expand.

If they aren't users on the Exchange server, then the Exchange admin just
adds them to the global address list as global contacts.
