If you have a group of people that you often send the same messages to, then a distribution list is for you. The easiest way to create a distribution list is with your DOS editor, although you can use a word processor and save the file as a DOS text file. Do not include the .DIS extension in the filename. There are some departments that create and maintain distribution lists for their staff to use. They save them on a departmental common drive and update them as needed.
Distribution lists can make e-mail communication easier for both individuals and entire departments.
