No, I'm not using those instructions, because I'm trying to get the list from
an Outlook email. I've pasted the Outlook Help text below. I am using those
instructions. Based on those instructions, there are a number of places that
I can copy the adddresses from. Let's say, for instance, I receive an email
with a 30 person CC list, and I want to create a distribution list based on
that. If I try to just copy the CC list, it gives me a list of NAMES, not a
list of email addresses. SO, instead, I do a Reply to All. At that point,
the "To" or "CC" box looks is formatted as SOMENAME someaddress@somedomain
; SOMEOTHERNAME someaddress@someotherdomain etc, with each name-address
pair underlined. Looks perfect. So, I copy that, and try to paste it as
specified below. It pastes in WITHOUT the email addresses. This also
happens if I paste it into Word, Notepad, or whatever.
Here are the instructions from Office Outlook Help:

Create a distribution list by copying names from an e-mail message

In the e-mail message you want to copy the names from, select the names in
the To or Cc box (To, Cc, and Bcc boxes: A message is sent to the recipients
in the To box. Recipients in the Cc (carbon copy) and Bcc (blind carbon copy)
boxes also get the message; however, the names of the recipients in the Bcc
box aren't visible to other recipients.).
On the Edit menu, click Copy.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Distribution List.
In the Name box, type a name for the distribution list.
Click Select Members.
In the Add to distribution list list, right-click, and then click Paste on
the shortcut menu (shortcut menu: A menu that shows a list of commands
relevant to a particular item. To display a shortcut menu, right-click an
item or press SHIFT+F10.).

That method only works if the addresses are in the correct format.

According to the help info, it should be possible to create a distribution
list from the CC list of an existing email, but copying and pasting.
However, this doesn't seem to work unless the recipients are already in
the
address book. If it doesn't find them, it seems to want me to add them
individually. I can even do a "reply to all", which appears to get me a
great recipient list to copy and paste, where each name has both a name
plus
an email address, but when I copy it to the clipboard, it omits the actual
email addresses, and only grabs the names. Any way around this?
