1218946 2011-07-25 06:05:00 I write emails to my son on a regular basis and have about 10 names in the "cc" box. Keeps me in touch with quite a few friends.
But whenever I send a new email I have to copy the "cc" contents from an old email and put them in the new email.

I feel there should be an automatic way of organising this distribution but cannot find one. I use Outlook Express,

All suggestions welcome.

Tom

1218948 2011-07-25 06:42:00 In the interests of protecting privacy of your friends - how about using bcc rather than cc. With cc you attach the whole list of addresses for the spammers to collect. With bcc each email goes out with only the recipients address.
If you want them to know who you have sent the email to, just start of Dear Jim, Mary, Fred, John......

Now right click the mail, and select Edit As New

The letter will now become a draft with all the addresses filled in.

Just delete the old text and start typing the new text.

Easy.

This sounds terrific - the way I like to do things, but unfortunately there is no "Edit As New" showing up on my computer when I follow your instructions. I tried copying one to the drafts but that didn't work either because it refused to let me delete anything except the entire file.
Stumped again!

Kiss goodbye to Outlook if you want this simple functionality.
