Default Copy addresses fr/ e-mail to new distribution list

Using: Outlook 2003/Windows XP Pro (at home)

Having difficulty transfering addresses listed in the "To" section of an
e-mail I received into a newly-created distribution list.

I followed the instructions in Outlook's help tool ("select all, copy, paste
into new distribution list," basically), which works for those addresses
which show in the "To" section AS an e-mail address. It does NOT it work for
those who are listed by their name, only. I know the e-mail address
information is there - I can right-click on the name and see it when I select
"properties" from the menu - but I can't export that address to my new
distibution list.

Help! Not looking forward to retyping all those e-mail addresses to create
my list. Thanks for any assistance you can provide,

Default Copy addresses fr/ e-mail to new distribution list

The method only works for those addresses that Outlook can resolve. Outlook
cannot resolve a name.
