How do I create an email mailing from a text message of the addresses?
I have an email from a friend. It contains a list of email addresses, semi-colon delimited. I can manually use 'cut and paste', one address at a time to create a mailing list. I would like to be able to use his text list to create a mailing list in a more speedy manner.

I think the following will work…
- Copy them to a text editor.
- You could then replace the semicolons with either commas or newlines.
- Then you can copy-and-paste the whole lot into a Mailing List. They'll paste all into one line but will split out into one per line after you close and then re-open the new Mailing List.
An alternative is to install the Email Address Crawler add-on, which can lift email addresses out of multiple messages. Whilst it is normally used to harvest addresses found in the headers (to, from, cc etc) it can work on message body text too.

Replacing with newlines, followed by copy-and-paste to what looked like a single line. After saving and reopening the list had separated out from 1 line to the number of addresses in the list. Thank you.
