Folks,



Most of my contacts have two email addresses. One is their normal email
address and the other one, stored in the email-2 field is the their
emergency one which is used to send messages to their pagers. Now, I want to
be able to page all my field staff in an emergency.



Identifying them is easy enough, I just set up a view on the contacts folder
which filters for the group of people I want to page. However, when I start
a new message to them, Outlook takes them email from the regular email
field. Does anyone know how I can tell it to use email-2 instead please?


Thanks.

Post your Outlook version. If earlier than 2002, post your mail support mode
as well.
 
Sorry, version 2002 (we are using POP3/SMTP mail)

Thanks

In Outlook 2002, each electronic address is listed separately. That affords
you the opportunity of creating a Distribution List that contains only the
e-mail 2 addresses and then sending to that DL.
