Hi, an alternative to putting everybodies address in the to field, which has the undesirable effect of distributing everyone's email address far and wide is to but all the addresses in the bcc field, and send to message to oneself (a message has to be sent to someone). For example, in Outlook Express: 1. Create a new message. 2. Open the Select recipients dialog from the tools menu. Tab three times to the list of contacts, and select them all using ctrl + a. Then tab to the bcc button and press it. Press enter to ok the dialog. 3. You're returned to the to edit box in the message window, where you can enter your own email address. 4. Write message and send. David. original message: Brian, In Outlook 2003 or Outlook express, you could go into the address book, select all the contacts and send a message. The exact steps will depend on which application and whether you prefer shortcuts or menus. Here's how to do it using menus. Outlook Express From the Inbox, open the Tools menu and choose Address Book. Open the Edit menu and choose Select All. Open the Tools menu, then the Actions submenu and choose Send Mail. Outlook 2003 From the Inbox, open the Go menu and choose Contacts. Open the Edit menu and choose Select All. Open the Actions menu choose New Message to Contact.
