The version is MS Office Outlook 2003...part of MS Outlook Professional
Edition 2003.
Here's the problem:
I am trying to create a distribution list from an email I have received
from
the TO and CC list. of the email. WHat's on the TO and CC list are email
addresses (e.g. (e-mail address removed)) or display names (if I right lick on it, I see
the associated email address). In order to create a distribution list, I
copy the TO and CC list and then do FILE->NEW->Distribution List->Paste to
Members (in Add to DL). If I then say ok, it comes back with an error
for
the first display name (on the list (e.g. MS Outlook does not recognize
"John
Garcia") ...because it fails to expand John Garcia with it's email
address.
I am trying to build DLs and other things for mas smailing. I would like
to
be able to capture email lists from incoming emails so I can email tio
them
in the future. I understand mailmerge is a nice way of managing mass
emails...but I have to figure out how to use it.
In the mean time I am trying to figure out how I can copy/paste a
displayed
name on the incoming email such that it expands it's email address so I
can
capture it. One long way would be to right click on each one and then
copy
the email address instead of the displayed name but that would be a
cumbersome way of doing it. WOndering how I can do several names in one
shot.
Thanks in advance for your help.
