Comments.Text: Tom, what do you mean by 'subcategory'? do you mean 'contact sub-type' - if so why not just make a Smart Group based on that criteria - and yes in general CiviMail needs a Group for the mailing target.

  I want to send an email to an entire subcategory of individuals (WordPress, civiCRM 5.52) but the Recipients line only accepts GROUPS.
  
  Do I have to assign a group to this subcategory just to send an email?
