How do I create a mailing list (group) of colleagues to whom I send a common email every week?

Hi... I would like to get the email addresses from a bunch of my emails -- which I have grouped in one subject in one folder in Mac Mail -- and get these addresses into Contacts so that I can make this magical Email List from them!

Actually, why do we have to get them into Contacts first? I just want to Reply All to all emails in a particular folder.

Or I want to be able to export all the email addresses from the mail in a particular folder into a .CSV file or anything I can open in Excel. Then I want to cut'n'paste them back into the Send field of an email.

Say I have 10 emails from friends, I want to invite them all to something. How best to do it?

I just want to build an email list! I recall I used to be able to do this easily. ...WAS IT WITH EUDORA? Hmm, maybe THAT's why I'll be happy I haven't thrown away my old Mac that's running Classic 9...

I used to easily send out mass-emailings to customers and other groups. I used email that I received to create the lists. Why is it now so hard?

Ah ha! I finally remembered how I did it last time! ...Mac Mail Scripts. A guy has these free scripts you can download and then just use the one that adds email addresses from any amount of Mail to Contacts! All in one shot. From there it's easy to make a Group and a mailing. (I hope it's not out of date somehow... I haven't used it in a long time.)

and what about if you don't have the email addresses or contacts in Contacts, just in your email program? and there is no + sign underneath the new group name that I created... only the regurlar one...

This worked for me too - thanks!

I did exactly what was described and Group name does NOT show up in my mail address book. How frustrating!! Was not the original mission of Mac to be simpler than standard PC?

Outlook is 10 times easier to use.

Can someone help?

this solved my problem. Thanks!

It does not work to drag to group name. I highlighted the group name then put in information then when it did not enter into the appropriate mail group I tried multiple ways of dragging... No luck. ALso the first entry (Name only) went into group box but said "NO CARD" ( what does that mean?) but only name nothing else entered.

I have wasted 1 1/2 hours trying to do this ..!!!!!\

Help!
