Outlook Banter - View Single Post - How to save a group of email addresses that was forwarded to me?

**Alphonse[_2_]** · August 8th 07, 01:20 AM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

The addresses that get embedded in the body of a forwarded message are in
two formats:
and Name , this latter with the
variation "Name"
The only problem in accomplishing what you are trying to do was the
comma-separated addresses, so I copied them to Word, Replaced All commas to
semi-colons, copied all again, opened a new Distrib List, clicked Select
Members and pasted into the box "Add to distribution list". Those without a
Name will have their e-mail addresses for a Name.

Hi Brian: Thanks for the reply. I may not have framed my question
clearly.

The list is not in the CC window. It is under the "Original Message"
section.

Example: You get a joke forwarded to you that had been forwarded by
another
person. The person who sent it to you did not remove the To and From of
the
email sent to him -- it is now part of the original message. Your friend
may
write "this is funny" then send it to you.

The original email was not sent to me. It was sent to someone else to
then
forwarded it to me. It is the To and From of the Original Message that I
want. I am the "to" of the second generation and the "from" is one of the
recipients of the original email. She could do what you suggest but that
isn't an option right now.

Does any of that make sense to you? Thanks!!

An email was forwarded to be by a recipient that has about 300 email
addresses in the cc line. I want to create a distribution list from
these 300 addresses. How can I do it efficiently? If I copy and
paste into the cc line of another email, I lose the email addresses
and only names remain. I've tried cutting and pasting into Word and
back again, but same result. I don't want to have to save them one
by one!

Open a new DL. Then click Select Members. Open the message with the Cc
list, select the entire list by right-clicking and choosing Select All,
then
right-clicking and choosing Copy, place your mouse in the DL's Members
field, right-clicking and choosing Paste. Click OK.
