Vista - Send email addresses of a specific group of contacts

I want to send the email addresses of a specific group of contacts (mailing
list) to a friend who is running XP. In the old Windows Address Book I could
copy and paste them into an email but this does not work in Vista. Any
sugestions?

First, you have to have the contact group in your "Contacts".

If you need to create the group:
- CTRL+SHIFT+C, it will give you Windows Contacts
- Click "New Contact Group", and add the contacts that you want included.

When you're done adding the contact group, you can Create Mail, and click on the "To:" tag, left of
the input box. Click it, and it will bring up your contacts, which will list the group you just
created.

*Misread the question.

CTRL+SHIFT+C will take you to your list of contacts, and just drag the group into the message. It
should attatch itself to the message, but will not input into the message.

Unfortunately the attachment cannot be read by XP or any other operting
system appart from Vista.

Unfortunately, that's the only way that I've been able to get it to insert into the message at all.
If you right click on the group, and attempt to email it, you're either sending an email to the
contacts, or sending the contacts as an attatchment to someone else. I'm unable to find anything
that says differently at the moment, still looking.

Export the contacts using CSV format. Open that CSV file in Excel, or if
you don't have Excel you can open in Notepad. Edit as desired. Copy the
contacts of interest and paste into an email.

Yes the brute force approach works. This is Microsoft again increasing
complexity at the expense of functionality in its efforts to promote Linux.
