Outlook 2003

In Outlook 2000, I was able to create a Group list by selecting from existing
entries in my address book or by creating new members. After finishing the
Group list, all entries old and new would appear as individual contacts in my
address book.

In Outlook 2003 when creating a Distribution List, the newly created members
do not appear separately in my address book. Is there a way to send an
e-mail to only 1 member of a distribution list without having to type in a
new contact all over again?

While I no longer have Outlook 2000, I don't believe it did this.

Sure. Add the DL, then expand it by clicking the plus sign to its left.
Remove any addresses you wish not to be included. Alternatively, if you
know the address, just begin typing it in the recipient field. If you have
autocompletion enabled and you've sent a message to that address before
(such as via the DL), then it should pop up in a suggestion box.
