Are you referring to MSN Messgener? If yes - process is simple but you need
to go thru a few steps as long as you have Excel '2003.

To avoid a litnay of msgs - just in case this is what your asking about -
save your MSN contacts - will end in a .ctt extsion type. Rename this
filewith an .XML file type. Open in it Excel (or whatever you use to read
XML files). Delete the first column - the 2nd column will have the email
addy's - you will not see the "names" - that part you'll have to complete on
your own so if using Excel either update column 1 or add a new column.

Once you correct that file - just save it as a CSV file and import it into
Outlook. If there is a better way to do this - am all open to any
suggestions.

Karl
