Copying simple Outlook email list not as easy as it looks

G

George

I'm using Outlook 2003. There are only 2 PCs on a locat network. The OLD
PC has an email I need to use that is "TO:" about a dozen email addresses,
each name formatted like this:

'Joe Adams' <[email protected]>;
'Bill Smith' <[email protected]>;
etc.

All I want to do is simply copy the list (to the body of an email, or to a
USB, or anywhere), then walk over to the NEW PC and paste it into a
different Outlook system in the "TO:" box

But it refuses to work. On the OLD PC, I've tried "Select all" then paste
(into body of a new email, or into a Word doc, etc.) and all I get is
text...

'Joe Adams'; 'Bill Smith'; etc

Every other method seems to give only text.

I've done it before, where I got the list into a document, walked it over to
the NEW PC, then just deleted the names out and ended up with the pure email
addresses, like this...

(e-mail address removed);
(e-mail address removed);
etc.

But this doesn't work anymore.

I don't want to actually send a real email from the OLD PC (yet), just for
the purpose of getting the list to the NEW PC, so....

Would welcome any suggestions on how to get the actual email addresses off
the OLD PC and over to the NEW PC.

Thanks
George
