They are all underlined when I select them, but not when I past them. Maybe
I am not doing the exact steps as you are so let me show you what I do in
office outlook 2007:
1) First I create a new new that only shows the To: field
2) I then go to the e-mail address I am look to copy and the select all and
copy.
3) I then select FileNewDistribution List
4) Sine outlook 2007 is more visual driven I selecte Distribution
ListSelect members.
5) A new window pops up called Select Members:Contacts. This window has a
search field and address book drop down. Also is a list of all my existing
contacts. Then at the bottom is the members list field.
6) I then enter the members list field and ctrl-V the list of names. I then
errase any field names that got copied. Then I hit OK.
7) Then a new window pops up called Check Names which says Microsoft Office
Outlook does not recognize "Any and Linda Tall". Next line says Select the
address to use: Then the field says (No Suggestions). at the bottom the OK
is dimmed and I get a selection to show more names or new contact.

It just seems that this whole thing is based on my address book. Do you
think I followed your procedure correctly?

Are you sure all your recipients are already in your address/contact

I did it with a random list of recipients, many of which were NOT in my
contacts folder at all.

If so then you are correct it will work correctly. However,
half the names are not in any contact or address book. Therefore all
the ones that are get underlined and those that are not are don't.

Like I said, they must be resolved (underlined). However, if you receive a
message with a bunch of recipients, all of the addresses in the To and Cc
fields will be resolved. Make your selection from there. If you use Reply
to All, they should be resolved as well. If they weren't, your reply
wouldn't be sendable.
