Easily popiulating a 2nd contact list

[Eric in denver]

Hi- I created an additional contact list, let's call it "list B" in outlook.
I have an email to about 500 people w/ all the names in a new mail message
(that is, the TO field has these 500 recipients already). What i want to do
and can not find anyway to do, is to get those 500 names into the list B
contact list.

When i highlight a name and right click it, the only option is adding to my
outlook contacts (the default contact list) and NOT the new list B that i
created. I've tried dragging names and that doesn't work either.

Any ideas/recommendations?

thanks.

Call it "list B" if you want. Try calling it something the rest of us can
understand. Use terms that Outlook uses and not ones you make up if you want
someone in a newsgroup to help you.

When you right click on a name and choose Add to contacts it will always add
it to the Default contacts folder, not to a secondary folder. You'll need
to drag them to the other folder later (sort by Modified date to make it
easier to find them).

Do you want to add all 500 names to contacts? If so, and assuming they were
on the To list of a message sent to you, not one you are addressing, get the
addresses from the message header. See
http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/create/dl.asp for the method.
