I think heard in the past, but can't remember how to do it, whern I create the distribution list and an email to all of them in the distribution list, there might be a way when the email is sent in the bcc area so they don't all see all email addresses and/or names, but in To area, each contact that gets an email, it shows just their name/email. I is there a way to do this? Thanks very much !!
 
Outlook doesn't do the 'only their name in the to field' part when you use DLs - if you use BCC field, the To field will be empty. If you want to use their name in the To field, you need to use mail merge. Except outlook can't mail merge DLs. But... macros to the recue. :)

Mail merge to a contract group
 
Thanks so much...so I tried exactly what you showed me, created a test distrbution list with just a few contacts and different email addresses...and it works...

So what do I change in the macro so that it creates the email from a template email I created...so if I have a specific email I want to send to many people, I create the disribution list of those people and then just select the list, and run the macro?

And very important, it is there something to add so it automatcially sends it so I don't have to click on send of each email set up?

This would wonderful as I send many email templates to major lists and this would be so much faster....thanks so so much to the Smart Woman!!:D
 
I found the way to use the template so here is the code that uses a template but it opens up each email to each contact of the distribution list...so can we change it so that it automaticaly sends the email....that way when I have distribution list of a 100 contacts, it sends them to each one as if it is not a distibution, and I don't have to click on each one to send. That would super!!!

Sub Merge_to_Group2()

Dim o_list As Object

Dim objMsg As MailItem
' select or open the distribution list

Set o_list = GetCurrentItem()

For i = 1 To o_list.MemberCount

Set objMsg = Application.CreateItemFromTemplate("C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\E-mail Template.oft")

With objMsg
.To = o_list.GetMember(i).Address
.Display

End With

Set objMsg = Nothing

Next

End Sub
 
To All,

I changed the words Set objMsg =Nothing to objMsg.send and it did it opens the email for each contact and sends them automaically...
 
Now....if there is not a distribution list but I select different contacts in a folder.....just highlighting them....can we change the code it does the same thing for the contacts select? As I might have a list to send to, but not a distribution list.
