recreating a distribution list

[Mark]

I have a user who has about 100 contacts in a distribution list he created.
He accidentally deleted the list. Is there a quick way to recreate the
distribution list without having to go and select the 100+ names that were
associated with it. He has all the names in an email. Is there a way to
copy the email addresses that are in the list and somehow create the list?

Thanks

Depends on what format the addresses in the list is in. Instructions here:

If he hasn't emptied his Deleted Items folder, it should be in there. He can
simply drag it back to the Contacts folder.

Even if your user managed to re-create the D/L, there are far better ways of
doing this than using a D/L. If your version of Outlook supports Categories,
that is a much better way than using a D/L, particularly such a large one.
