I have an address book with a huge list of members. I receive an email with
a long CC list, say 25 people. I want to quickly and easily create a group
in the address book by copying that list of recipients and pasting it in,
rather than very tediously going through them one at a time, or by finding
them individually in my very large address book. Can this be done in Outlook
Express?

Thanks,

Saul

No easy way to do what you have in mind. You could copy/paste the info into
Notepad, then import it into Excel and manipulate the information into a
database with the following format:

First Name,Last Name,Middle Name,Name,Nickname,E-mail Address,Home
Street,Home City,Home Postal Code,Home State,Home Country/Region,Home
Phone,Home Fax,Mobile Phone,Personal Web Page,Business Street,Business
City,Business Postal Code,Business State,Business Country/Region,Business
Web Page,Business Phone,Business Fax,Pager,Company,Job
Title,Department,Office Location,Notes

Which, as you can see, would be a rather lengthy job, but there are no easy
tools to do in Outlook Express. Sorry.

I noticed that you can copy addresses from one group to the clipboard, and
then paste them into another group. Might there be some way (perhaps an add
on- anyone know of any?) to take a list of recipients from one email and get
them onto the clipboard in some format that OE could then paste?

If you copy/paste several contacts that way into a blank example of Notepad,
you will see that there is a particular format that the Address Book can
use, but other than the CSV format I forwarded earlier or the one used when
copy/pasting from existing entries is used, the copy/paste of just addresses
will normally fail. Sorry.

Hi Saul,

I can't help much with the issue -- and do not know of an add-on for the
purpose required. WAB address entries are copied in virtual card file
(special text) (*.vcf) format, not as simple e-mail addresses. It would be
possible to create a simplified comma-separated values (*.csv) file (another
special text file) from addresses pasted into Notepad. This file could then
be used to import the entries into the Main Contacts folder, but not into a
group. A free standing WAB file could be used to keep the entries
segregated. It's all probably more work than you'd deem reasonable.
