Contact Group List

I just got an e-mail with probably 50 e-mail addresses in the To list. I'd
like to use to this list to create my own Contact List but don't want to
have to type in each name and e-mail address.

So, in WM is there anyway to copy a long list of addresses (located in the
`To' section of a mail one receives) and somehow paste all of that into a
new contact group list that I want to create?


Thanks in advance. Paul C

Nope - probably no-one knows the answer.

It's possibly just been overlooked in the flood if IE8 bug postings ;-)
Most probably, however, no one had a suggestion.

No way to paste a list into contacts. Each contact is a file if it's
own.
Writing a program for parsing the addressing and creating the files
would be possible but require quite some programming skills.

But you could do it manually:
- open the mail,
- right-clock on an address in the header,
- in the context menu popping select "Add to contacts",
- edit the contact if needed,
- save the new contact.

AFAICS this would be doable with 50 addresses.

Re: Contact Group List

Ok, thanks Gary.

The only thing I found I can do is do a `copy' and paste of the list of
e-mails into a Word doc that I keep on my desktop and then copy and paste
from Word into the `to' list on my e-mails.

Re: Contact Group List

Thanks, Rainald. You're probably right about all the traffic due to the IE8
issues...........Paul C
