Send Distribution List by Email
I am trying to send a distribution list via email. I have tried attaching
the distribution list by dragging it from contacts to a new email and by doing Attach Item. I have also tried sending the distribution list and the contacts associated to the distribution list. Everytime, the recipient receives blank attachments. How do I resolve?

Send Distribution List by Email
The message has to be in rich-text format for that to work. Make sure you
don't have Outlook set to convert RTF messages to HTML. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "ALC" wrote: I am trying to send a distribution list via email.

Does the recipient have to be set to a cetain format? I am using Outlook
2007 and sending to several Outlook 2003 users. "Sue Mosher [MVP]" wrote: The message has to be in rich-text format for that to work.

Send Distribution List by Email
Recipients must not be set to receive in plain text only.

Send Distribution List by Email
This is ridiculous, it should not be this hard. I have changed how I send
the message to RTF, I have checked how the other person receives the email in Outlook 2003. Regardless, if they receive it in HTML, RTP or Plain Text, they do not get the distribution list. According to Microsoft Outlook 2007's help, I should be able to drag the list and drop it on an email, it does not say anything about changing all the formats for sending and receiving. I can send an Outlook 2007 contact as a vCard to someone with Outlook 2003 just fine but not the distribution list. Help.......

Works for everyone else. Make sure neither sender or recipient runs any
email AV scanning. Specify your mail account type. State what the recipient sees. -- Russ Valentine "ALC" wrote in message ... This is ridiculous, it should not be this hard.
