Default Save all recipients of email to a Distribution List in one click

I receive messages ccd to several others. I want to immediately create a
distribution list of all the other contacts. I can click reply all to get
them all in the "To." field, but I cannot create a permanent DL of all these
people without going through several steps in outlook. There should be an
option somewhere to immediately create a DL of all addresses.

Thank you for the suggestion Russ.

Unfortunately - with the way Outlook labels addresses (e.g. John
) when you copy & paste the addresses into the
"members" line, it only takes the labels and therefore can't quicky pickup
the names. It then searches the address book for matches. Am I missing
something here?

Probably. It works fine here just the way the article states as long as the
entries contain both a name element and an email address element. Not all
versions of Outlook do and not all senders emails do.
