Transferring a Distribution List

[jkiser]

I sent a message to people on a distribution list from my home PC last night.
In that distribution list, I included my office E-mail address.

The next morning at the office, I received the message. Now want to take
the entire distribution list from that message and save it to my office PC.

How do I do that?

How do I do that?

Do you mean you attached a DL to the message and want to add that to your
Contacts or that you want to add the contents of the recipient field to your
Contacts?

The later....I want to make the contents of the recipients field into a
distribution list.

Try opening a new DL, clicking Select Members, then pasting the recipient
list into the Members field.

That doesn't work because Outlook populates the recipients field with the
common names rather than the E-mail addresses. Then the DL can't find the
E-mail addresses.

I can partially solve that problem by "Replying To All" on the original
message and then copying all of the names in the "To:" field. But then there
is a combination of the common name and the E-mail address. If I paste that
into the Members field of the DL, it won't let me erase the common name part
and salvage the E-mail address.

I guess I could past it to an Excel sheet, erase the common name part, then
copy just the E-mail addresses to the Member field but there should be an
easier way to do this.
