Address listing for Categories

In the past we discussed here that there was no way to isolate email
addresses from just one category....In a manner that could be sent to a
friend. I found a rough work around for this. It's not in a maner that can
simply be imported to WLM but it does give the names and email addresses
from that category.

Start a new email and in the To: area click and insert the category name.
That places the category name there and includes, but does not show all the
info. Then click to close the email and when it asks if you want to save it
choose YES. That places it in your Drafts folder. Go there and open it.
In the To: area you will see all the names of the people in that category.
Click in the area and hit Ctrl-A to highlight them all. Then Ctrl-C to copy
them. Now put your cursor in the normal message area and click Ctrl-V to
copy to that area. It will now contain the names and emails in a manner
that can be sent to any friend who asks for it or it can be copied by you
and pasted somewhere.

Save yourself a few steps..

In any e-mail message
Click 'To' button to bring up the Contact picker dialog box
Scroll to and Select a Category
Click + to expand the Category contents
Control A, Control C to select all and copy

Hey, thanks, Winston. That works slick. And gets to what you want much
quicker.
