Good luck, Parker. As far as I know, the only way to do this is with a mail merge. But, you *could* create the email, save it as a template, then send that template to each person individually...but, that would be even more involved then the mail merge, I would think. If it were me (since Outlook macros are way weird), I would create the letter in Word and run the macro recorder in there, while you set up the merge, then you could use THAT macro to do it. (since Outlook doesn't even have a macro recorder). But, you might luck out by going to Slipstick.com....they do have some addins and macros for download...if anybody has this one, I would say it would be them. Good luck.

Then none of the names show up in the "To" box, but you have to put at least one e-mail address (real or made-up) in the "To" box in order to send it. I know you can avoid that problem by using the Word mail merge feature, but it is a fairly long, involved process and we would like to avoid it. What I would like, is to find a procedure, macro, or add-in for Outlook that would let me select names from a list, create one e-mail, and have Outlook send each individual selected an e-mail with only their e-mail address in the "To" box. Does anyone know of a way to do this, or a product that will allow Outlook to do this?
