Title: RE:easy way to add addresses from text???



I've had some luck with simple drag and drop operations with the address book.  Try highlighting a few of the addresses, drag them to an open Group address window and drop them in.  You may have to clean up a bit, but I've done this operation with a list copied from a column in an excel spreadsheet and for the most part it worked real well for 300+ addresses.  I've also done it with a text file with the addresses on separate lines. Addresses in a CC field are usually delimited in the way OE would expect, like with the brackets and separators in the right places.
