How do I add contacts to a Mailing List if they don't have an email address?
I am trying to add a contact to a Mailing List and the contact doesn't have an email address. In the Mailing List it says "Type email addresses to add them to the mailing list". Do I need to make a fake email address for those contacts that don't have one?

If you insist on using a mailing list for something it is not designed for I guess the answer is yes.
Address books are for contacts and provide for contacts without email addresses. As stated earlier, mailing lists are for creating groups for sending group emails. In order for a contact to be on a mailing list they have to exist in the address book you are creating the list in.
A better solution if you are trying to create categories of contacts is create a new address book.

What is the point of adding a contact without an email address to a mailing list? Mail lists are to send group email. Obviously you cannot send email to someone without an address.
I use my address book to not only store email addresses but to store phone #'s in as well . So again my question is do I have to create a fake email address?
