I understand how to do this. I use Distribution lists to send to groups. Problem is, I have enough people that sometimes I want to send to a few select people in a category, but not everyone, and I can't remember every person in every category to keep them separated.

I guess the easiest workaround is to highlight multiple people in the "By Category" window and click on Send New Message to Contact. I was looking for a way to organize the address book by category when clicking the "To:" button in a message.

Thanks for the replies.

     No way to do this, nor a need to. Don't use the Address Book.
     Use the By Category view of the Contacts Folder to send emails to entire
     groups directly from the Contacts Folder.
     Select a Category > Actions > New Message to Contact.
