In many ways, a Distribution list is like an individual entry in your address book. When a Distribution list is open, you can use the various buttons on the Ribbon (E-Mail, Meeting, Categorize, and so on) just as you do for an individual contact (as described elsewhere in this chapter). You can also send a Distribution list as an attachment to an e-mail message, as described in the section “Sending contact information by e-mail.”

When you address an e-mail message to a distribution list, the list name is displayed in the To or Cc field of the message with an adjacent + sign, as shown in Figure 29-13. If you click this + sign, the list is expanded to display its individual members just as though you had added them individually to the To or Cc field. This feature can be useful if you want to send a message to everyone on the list except one or two people; you can expand the Distribution list and delete those few individuals from the To or Cc field of the message.
