Fastest way to create a group from list of recived emails

I thought this would be as easy as drag and drop but no such luck.

Here's the situation. I had a class of 25 students email me from their mobile phones all using the same subject. Now I'd like to create a mailing list / group so that I can easly contact all of them if need be. I tried creating a new group and dragging all of the emails into it to no avail. I also tried right clicking and checking the menus to see if there were any options which there weren't.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'd be open to using automator or something similar if it worked.

Thanks,

Greg

I think the fastest way to do this is in Mail>Message>Add to Address Book, then in AB>File>New Smart Group>Card:>Was updated After... say yesterday, then select all those & make a new (not Smart) Group to drag them to so it won't change after that.

Unless you could get them all to eMail with some other unique that AB can see as a Group field.

AWESOME! Worked like a charm. I didn't even see the "Add senders to address book". Thank you.

In "mail" message menu, I don't get a "add to address book" option. Only add send sender...... But I want to add the other recipients to one group!!! Surely a simple request? Please....how??/
