I want to add many contacts to Outlook at once, from an
email message that has these contacts. How do I do that?
Also, you used to be able to automatically add an email
address when you hit Reply To, and now I can't figure out
how to do that with OUtlook 2002.

thanks

Hi Russ,
what I mean is, when I get a message from someone and it
has a whole list of "to" email addresses (perhaps a class
list or team list, for instance), I want to be able to add
them all at once without having to right click on each
name, which is very tedious and time-consuming. In Yahoo,
I will get the entire list of names presented, I can check
off the ones I want to add, etc.

Can I do this in Outlook and how?

In an older version, I could change some setting so that
when I hit "reply to", all those email addresses
automaticlaly got added, which was great.

thanks again for any suggestions.

"An email message that has these contacts?" You need to elaborate on what
you mean.

The ability to add a recipient to your Contacts Folder automatically was
only a feature in IMO mode, abandoned long ago. You can replicate it with
code if you like:

There is no such option for adding multiple Contacts in one step.
As I explained, the option for adding recipients automatically only existed
in the old IMO mode of Outlook, not in current versions.

Copy the addresses you want, then go to Tools, Address Book, File,
then New Entry, then click on New Distribution List, then click on
Select Members, and paste the addresses on the right listbox. Thats
it.
