No, unfortunately that doesn't get me what I need. The directions on the link send an individual email to each person on the distribution list. I need to send 1 email to all the contacts in distribution list 1 and a duplicate email to all the contacts in distribution list 2 and so on. It looks like this very helpful functionality is just not possible.

ThatsMyStapler, I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution for this?

Hi miguelal

Yes, I was finally able to accomplish this using the mail merge wizard in Word. I don't know what version of Word you have but for me I go to the Mailings Ribbon and select Start Mail Merger > Step by Step Mail Merge Wizard. This allows you to connect to your outlook contacts. The Display Name (will be way over on the right. I dragged this column next to the checkbox) is your distribution list name. Once you are done composing your email an you go to merger in the To: fields select Display_name. Hope this works as well for you as it did for me. FYI though, you do lose some functionality such as adding an attachement or using the reply to option.
