Email Contact lists.

[davidk65]

Using windows mail I have created a contact list containing email address for a specific purpose. The idea being that I simply click on the contact file and I send one email to all on my list without typing individual addresses.
Having created this, I am supposed to do a right click on the title of the contact list and an email window opens. Unfortunately all the names now appear in the Attachment section of the blank email and in the Subject part the names of the individuals also appear.
Please, what am I doing wrong?

You can send an e‑mail message to a contact group using Windows Mail. To do this, open Windows Contacts, right-click a contact group, point to Action, and then click Send E‑mail. This will open a new e‑mail message in Windows Mail addressed to all the members of that contact group.

Hi. Thanks but I have done all that and whilst I get a new email all my contacts appear as attachments. The subject line is then occupied with a list of the names for my contacts.
When I right click I don't see the word "Action". But I do get a drop down list that has items like blue-tooth, documents and email recipient that I can select from.
My system is Vista with windows mail.

If I click on create an email in the normal way and then click on the "To" all my emails addresses appear on the left. Among that list is a group icon that I created a long time ago, but I don't know how I did it. But if I click on that icon and then click to add it to the "TO" box the name of the group appears and on the email the addresses are entered as they should be.
Why can't I do this with a fresh group?

Any further help please??
