list view across accounts and contacts for mass mailing

list view across accounts and contacts for mass mailing

Hello,

I am a bit stuck on my CRM setup... let me explain

I want to send emails ("mass mailing") to some contacts of specific customers.
-> I want to create a list across two modules (contacts and accounts), but it seems that this is not possible.

all contacts from accounts with account-field industrie = medical
or:
contacts where field department = marketing from accounts with account-field industrie = bank


I can do this with a report, but from this I cant use mailing...

So:
1. is there a way to to this anyway?
2. for the future, do I really need also save account(company)specific attributs in contacts?
3. how can I move field from company to contacts in a mass action?

Thanks for helping me out of this
