creating a contact in a subfolder

Hi there;

I am using outlook 2002 xp professional. I have received an email with a list of recipients in the To: field. I would like to create contact records for each of these addresses, but in a contact subfolder. Currently the only way I can do this is to select each recipient one at a time, make it a contact (It gets put into the master contact folder) and then I have to move it manually into the subfolder. Is there an easier way to do this? There are over 100 entries in this To: list.

Thanks
HBH

Not really. You can eliminate the step of moving it from the default folder
to the subfolder by using the "Save and New.." command so you can select the
folder in which you want this new Contact to reside.

Thanks Russ;

sigh... I knew it just couldn't be that easy. What I ended up doing was to create a subfolder called temp and then move all existing entries from the main contacts folder into that. Then I created new contact records from the To: list in the email into the main contact folder. Once I was done, I moved the new contacts into the subfolder that I created to hold them, and moved the group in the temp folder back to the main folder... cluegy, but it worked...
