Dear Macropod, dear forumers,

Thank you for your help!
I did not what folder to check, so eventually I decided to just do this:

-Clean up a bit my list in Excel
-Write a message in Word; pair this file with my list; insert a few fields/variables in the text (so that "GENDER" "NAME" eventually read "Mr. A.", "Ms. B", etc.)
-Click on Send (=Outlook sent my 80 mails).

The text featured a line that went like "Feel free to ask me for a CV" + had a link to my LinkedIn page in it.

I don't know much about mass-mailing, spams etc (I don't know much about computers in general compared to you!), but it also occurred to me that an e-mail from a stranger with 2 attachments would make it likely to end up in the junk folder.

I'm getting replies now Thanks for your help.

Macropod will you let me know what folder I should have looked into? I'd be curious to know if the macro worked all right, I might even try to make it work and learn something. Cheers
