(ie. keep it simple stupid) . So, you have 400 emails in excel, save the file as a coma seperated value(csv) in .txt fomat, then import that into outlook, then create a distribution list. With the distribution list or even having all those emails now in contact there are several options available to you. 1.Use Outlook and create an email and send to the distriubtion list. 2.Use office publisher 2007 and create a fantastic looking email and then use the email merge funtion. Or, for those that just need to create code, code something that would read in the text file and mass mail everyone.

1.Use Outlook and create an email and send to the distriubtion list.
2.Use office publisher 2007 and create a fantastic looking email and then use the email merge funtion.

Or, for those that just need to create code, code something that would read in the text file and mass mail everyone.
