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.

Never had any problem with characters or group size until ridiculous format change by Outlook. So called Microsoft Techs don't know how to fix this problem.
What types of characters do you find no longer work?
I am disagreeing with ZigZag. Most of the email addresses I had in my group had characters and symbols that were fine a few months ago until the ridiculous change by Outlook.
Are you agreeing with Zigzag about what characters are allowed in email addresses and disagreeing with my claim that many special characters are allowed?
That's BS. I have been sending my group messages for at least 5 years with no problems until the last 2 months.
