I wish to choose some names from a distribution list for a particular email,
but maintain the list intact. Why is this so difficult?
 
(Seems like everything in OL is difficult)

Try this: Create a new e-mail message in OL and select your distribution
list from the Select Names window. Look at the distribution list name in
the "To" box and you should see a plus sign to the left of the list. Click
on the plus sign to open or expand the list. You will get a message warning
you that once you expand the list you cannot collapse it again. Click OK
(this has no effect on your list, just the current e-mail message). Now you
can delete anybody you want as an addressee of this e-mail without removing
them frokm your underlying list. You should also be able to add anybody you
want, too, also without necessarily adding them to your underlying list.
 
version of outlook? Only 2003 supports expanding DLs.
