On my PC in Office if you get an email with numerous addressees and you want to copy them and paste them in a new email you just select them, then copy and paste them in the new email. How do you do that in Entourage without doing it one at a time? Entourage does not appear to have that convenience.

On my PC in Office if you get an email with numerous addressees and
you want to copy them and paste them in a new email you just select
them, then copy and paste them in the new email. How do you do that
in Entourage without doing it one at a time? Entourage does not
appear to have that convenience.

The same works in Entourage. Drag over the addresses and you can select
them all. Then you can drag them all to a new mail message.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. My mistake was not copying off the email list I received. I would "forward" the message and then try to copy the addresses.

This does not work for me. I would like to copy addresses from the "To:" field of a calendar event. It seems this should be possible. I might want to send an email to the same group that is receiving the calendar event. This does not function properly.

Also, I cannot copy addresses from a group in the address book to an email message. The problem is that there is no way to select addresses in the "To:" field. (I am speaking of the field in input mode).

Regarding the solution above, what if there are more addresses than will fit in the "To" field on the incoming message? Then there is no way to select all of the addresses. Those can only be accessed by opening up the internet headers window.

I have never found a way to have to the To: field from one message or calendar event be copied to another message. I am speaking here of message and events that I am composing, not ones I have received. What happens if I do a drag from the To field to another message is that the addresses all get mixed into one and it becomes a meaningless address. The only solution I have found is to drag the addresses from the To: field to a text file and then manually insert separators between the addresses. Very painful. Thanks for any help you can provide.
