Create Distribution List from incoming email?

[elfmajesty]

Hello.

I need to create a distribution list from an incoming email which has
everyone I need in the cc: field right now. The problem is that the incoming
email must've come from someone else's distribution list and is only showing
the Display Name (not the actual email address). Is there any way to extract
all the email addresses without actually clicking on each individually and
getting the properties for them?

I thought you could copy names from an incoming email and paste them into
the Select Members - Members area of a new distribution list? When I do
that, it is telling me the names are not recognized.

Any help on this would be very much appreciated!

Cheers,
Elf

Whether you can do this or not depends on your Outlook version and the
format of the addresses. If you can do it, the method is outlined here:

Thanks, Russ! Much appreciated.

What I ended up doing is doing a "reply to all" (and not actually sending
it!) and used the actual recognized emails that were created from there.

Have a fantastic weekend.
