What does editing a contact in a mailing list affect?

Editing a contact in a mailing list affects all mailing lists and the directory because contact details are stored in a centralized directory system. When changes are made to a contact, such as updating their name, email address, or other key information, this change reflects across all mailing lists that the contact is part of, ensuring consistency.

The centralized nature of the directory means that any updates help maintain accurate and cohesive data. Consequently, if you edit a contact in one mailing list, it eliminates discrepancies that could arise from having varying information across multiple lists. This interconnectedness is crucial for effective email communication and for maintaining the integrity of the contact database.
