Organizing and accessing contact information in Outlook.com
That's BS. I have been sending my group messages for at least 5 years with no problems until the last 2 months.
Unable to send email to group. Getting an error message about incorrect format of email address.

I tried to send an email to a group. I got an error message in red: "Please use the following format for email addresses: . . ." but I know of no way to look at my group list and see which email is spelled wrong, missing a letter or has any other problem. I'm really frustrated since this is an important email.
