Default Create a group from recipient list

If you have an email that contains many recipients in To: is there any
shortcut to put all these people in a group without having to add them
one-by-one to your address book and then assemble the group?

Roger,

No shortcut. However, please respect the recipient's privacy and place
multiple people in the Bcc:

I don't know what you mean by "group", but it's possible you could make a
Distribution List.

In Address Book you can make a new contact or a new Group. In Contacts you
make a Distribution List. You get to send an email message to a bunch of
people in either case.

You should never manipulate your contacts using the Address Book, since it
contains no data and is simply a view of your Contacts folders that have
been enabled as address books. Unwanted side effects can occur if you do.
For example, if you delete an entry from the address book interface, the
contact associated with that entry is NOT deleted from the Contacts folder
containing it. Instead, the electronic address for that contact is removed
from the contact record.

Thanks for that advice.

Is there any way to quickly make a distribution list from the recipients in
To: in a message?

If all the addresses are in Internet format and separated by semicolons,
yes. Select the entire recipient list, right-click and choose Copy. In the
Inbox, click NewDistribution list. Click Select Members, select the
Members field, right-click and select paste. Click OK.
