How can I cut addresses from an email and paste them into a nes contacts group?



I've tried the obvious and it doesn't take. I can add names one at a time
but I'm wanting to make a group out of about 100 names that I have in an
existing email.

High light the emaill address, right click and then 'add to contacts. That
should do it

What you suggest will add the individual contacts to my contact list. Then I
would need to add each of the 100 or so names to the empty "group" that I
have created. What I'm wanting to do is:

1. Create and name a group (I believe these show as folders in Mail?)
2. Highlight the email addresses in an email that I have in my inbox
3. Somehow get all of the names bulk-wise into the group that I have created

I've tried ctl-c -> ctl-v, dragging/dropping, and the other techniques and
the only thing that I can do to place contacts into the group is to import
them one-by-one from my contacts list.

Lee,

The best thing I could figure out (& it's not great) is as follows:

Move your current Contacts out of the Contacts folder to a folder in
Documents or elsewhere.

In the email message, Tools -> Add to Contacts -> Everyone on the List.

The annoying part is you have to click 'OK' for every Contact created!!!

You can then move those Contacts to a folder in Documents or elsewhere --
the advantage being this will prevent the individual addresses showing in
the 'Select Recipients' dialog in a new email message.

Create your new group & when you use the 'Add to Contact Group' dialog, you
can use <Ctrl> + A to select all the contacts at once.

Move your saved contacts back into the Contact folder.
