Default save a distribution list from another user?

I have a distribution list (Outlook 2007) that was sent to me from another
user. How can I save this list into my contacts? It seems like the "Save and
Close" option just saves it within the email message.
Thanks!

Try using the Copy to Folder command instead.

Try dragging it off the message and into the contacts folder.

I saved the distribution list to my desktop, and then dragged it from the
desktop into my contacts and it worked.

Why didn't you just drag it directly to the Contacts folder?
