How can I send an email to "all" contacts in a certain category? I presume I
do not have to add all my contacts manually.. correct??

Thank you,

Conrad
 
Use the By Category View.
Select the Category Header.
Actions > New Message to Contact.
 
Thanks; I see it works but it puts everybody in the To: field

Any chance of creating a distribution list the same way? Or do I just
copy/paste to BCC?

Help is Appreciated Russ!!

Copy/Paste to BCC is probably best.
If you want to make a DL, there is a procedure:
Right click and drag the Category required to a newly created Contacts
subfolder then choose Copy. Make sure the new subfolder has been enabled as
an email address book by right clicking on it and choosing Properties >
Outlook Address Book Tab > and check the box to enable as email address
book. Create your new Distribution List and make sure the Show Names drop
down field points to this new subfolder then shift select all the contacts
and voila.
