Q. Hello Richard, I use Windows 7 on my laptop and for emails I use Windows Live Mail. There are occasions when I need to send out the same email to a group of people. I do not want to go through my entire list of contacts to select these people, but would prefer to send to the names listed in the folder which I have prepared. Please could you tell me how I can send to the names listed in that folder?
A. Hi Mary, if your group is small and changes names then you should just enter the email addresses of the individuals each time, if however, as you suggest your group is a large number of people and you want to regularly send an email to the same group of people (a club or group of friends perhaps) then you should create a mailing list. To do this follow the simple instructions below…
This name acts as a nickname when addressing messages and the nickname must be unique in your address book (a group cannot have the same name as another group or another address book entry’s nickname).
It’s also probably worth noting that Windows Live Mail is not limited to Windows 7 users only, anyone with a computer can use this useful email program.
