Send an email to an entire category of Contacts (Outlook 2000/2002/2003/2007)

If you use categories to help organize your Outlook items, you can easily send email to an entire category of Contacts. To start, click on the Contacts icon in the Navigation Pane (click on the Contacts folder in the Folder List in 2000 and 2002). Next, click on the folder that contains the Contacts to which you want to send email. Then, choose View | Arrange By | Current View | Categories from the Outlook menu bar (View | Current View | By Category in 2000/2002/2007). Finally, click on the category header that contains the entries you want to send email to, and then choose Actions | New Message To Contact from the Outlook menu bar (Actions | Create | New Message To Contact in 2007). A new Message form launches containing all the Contacts within the selected category. Simply enter the pertinent information, and then click Send on the Message form.
