Default How do I convert cc's to a distribution list group?

I tried it and it did not work. All the names were separated by semicolons
so that was not a problem, but when I pasted the list of names into the box
for Select Members, Outlook started checking the names against my contact
list. as soon as it found one it did not recognize, it prompted me to pick
it out of the Contact list (which of course it was NOT in). I could not get
Outlook to bypass that process and just take the names as I submitted them.
I tried this with both the Add members as well as the New members option
buttons and neither would work. I am using Outlook 2003 single user. Any
other thoughts?

I have received email as part of a 40 person cc and want to create
my own distribution list of those other cc's so I can originate
messages to the group (and not just use the 'reply all' key). Is
there a way to move the cc's from the header of an incoming email
directly into a new distribution group with out having to first make
each of them a separate contact and then move the contact into the
distribution group?


If the list you have is a semicolon-separated list of addresses (which a
Cc field would contain), you can select the entire list, right-click and
choose Copy, then open a new DL, click Select Members, and paste the list
into the Members field. Click OK and that list will be turned into
individual DL members.
