This article was previously published under Q140185 SYMPTOMS
When you receive a message that was sent to a Microsoft Exchange
Distribution List, the name of the Distribution List is not bold in the To:
field. If you double-click the Distribution List name in the To: field, it
brings up the details of the Distribution List and the Distribution List
name is bold in the To: field.
CAUSE
This is by product design.
MORE INFORMATION
To improve the performance of the Microsoft Exchange clients, the member
list of a Distribution List is not loaded into memory when the message is
first opened. Only the Display Name of the Distribution List is used in the
To: field. When you double-click the Distribution List name, the member
list of the Distribution List is loaded from the address book and
displayed. Once this procedure is done, the client has confirmed that the
name is a valid Distribution List name, so it displays the Distribution
List name in bold, which is the default format to display a Distribution
List name in Microsoft Exchange.
