It's likely almost all of your friends, family and business associates have an e-mail address. When you have big news, sending an individual e-mail to each ofthem can take a long time.

Distribution lists make it easy to e-mail everyone with a single click. Most e-mail programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger, have a way to create lists. You typically add names and e-mail addresses to

your address book. Then you use that database to generate the lists.

In Outlook Express, go to your tools menu, click on address book and then create a group. Click on names you want in the list.

In MS Outlook, while in "Contacts," click on the file menu, then select new distribution list. In Netscape Messenger, after you've added your names to the address book, you place those names in a list.
