A contact group is a collection of contacts that simplifies the process of sending e‑mail to groups of people. By addressing a message to a contact group, you save time by not having to add an address to the message for each recipient. You can send the message to everyone in the contact group at once.
When using contact groups, keep in mind that they do not hide the e‑mail addresses of the recipients. When you send a message to a contact group, all the recipients will be able to see the names and e‑mail addresses of the other recipients.
Contact groups are designed to be used with Windows Mail, and are sometimes called mailing lists.
