Saving a distribution list

[David H]

Hi
Could someone help me please. A colleague has emailed me a
distribution list from their Contacts list (done as per
Outlook Help "sending a distribution list").
It appears as an attachment in the email but I cannot work
out how to add it to my Contacts so that I can use it as a
distribution list to send emails to. If I open it
and "save and close" it doesn't appear in my Outlook.

Unfortunately Help doesn't have a "saving a distribution
list".

How do I do it?

thank you
David

Try File | Copy to Folder.

I'm having the same problem as David is. Sue's suggestion did not work for me.

Hi Sue
Thanks for the help but unfortunately it doesn't work.
File > Copy to Folder adds the email sender's details to
Contacts but not the Distribution List that is attached to
the sender's email. Or have I missed something?

Still searching for answers If Microsoft provide
instructions showing how you can send a distribution list
to someone then surely the flip side is how the recipient
can save this distribution list!!

regards
David

Hi Sue
I got it!! I was trying File > Copy to Folder after
doubleclicking the message. Obviously you have to double
clck the distribution list attachment and then go File >
Copy to Folder - Doh!!

Thank you very much.

Per Office online assistance
1.. Open the message that contains the distribution list.
2.. Click the attached distribution list and drag it to the Contacts
folder
Quick & easy.
