How to create a group from an email distribution list

Hi,
I've searched around and could not find this question asked or answered.  It's this:
I get an email containing a very large distribution list.  I have some of these names in my address books but many I do not.
I need to send out emails to this same distribution list that is not a 'reply all".  What I'd like to do is easily highlight the names and create a group that I can then send emails to in the future.
Right now it seems that the only way to do this is to create a contact for each and then drop each one into a new group that I create.  Seems quite tedious.
Anybody know how to get this done?  I'm hoping for a magical highlight all the names, right click, select 'new group", name new group and presto: done.  All the email addresses would now be in contacts along with the new group.
Thanks for your help.

There was a "magical" set of Applescripts that would have done that, but it no longer works.
There is no way in the OS to do that besides making the Applescript yourself using the current Script Editor.
Another way to do what you want is to select all of the addresses (select one, then cmd-A). Then, drag the selection to somewhere in the Finder. That will create a text clipping. You can then drag that text clipping into the address field in Mail.
The text clipping will be named with the first few email addresses. You can rename it in the Finder.
Each one can be your own "distribution" list.

  • How to create a Group from an existing email -

    I just want to create a Group from an existing email received.  Don't want to add people individually to Address Book, then drag them to the Group.  Would prefer to copy/paste the addresses into the Group.  I'm part of a team at work wth 25 people!  Do I really have to add their addresses individually?  Seems ridiculous.  Don't even need their names - just the emails, so when I type in "United," for example, I get all the folks in that Group which is named "United."
    Thanks.

    how do i create a contact list in adobe send from my email contact list and how do avoid typing individual email adresses

    Hi [email protected],
    The e-mail addresses will not be memorized in Adobe send but will be saved in sent items.
    You can use Adobe send outlook plugin to access your email contact list and send.
    You can download it here:Send Large Files Online - Share, Control, Track & Manage | Adobe Send

    You can create your groups on your computer and sync them on your iPhone. Or you can use an application. I developped Easy Group, to manage group of contacts, and send group texts and group emails.

  • How to create a group calendar?

    Hello,
    i am sorry but this is one more question on wiki-group-calendars.
    *In short:*
    I am not able to create a group calendar with the wiki frontend. the calendar that is created with a wiki is owned by the admin of the wiki. So it is always a personal calendar that cannot be shared in iCal.
    LONG:
    I want to create a group calendar that is viewed and edited through iCal.app and the web service. Apple´s "wiki deployment" guide says on page 57:
    +"The web calendar allows you to easily schedule events for yourself or your group. ...+
    +There are *two types of web calendars: personal and group*. You can send and receive event invitations through the personal calendar but not through the group calendar. Also, *while anyone in a group can create or edit events in a group calendar*, you can edit only events in your own personal calendar or event invitations you send to other people.+
    +The web calendar uses iCal Server to store events and invitations. ..."+
    But there is not mentioned how to create a group calendar. The calendar created with the wiki web-frontend belongs to the admin of that particular wiki. This is why the calendar data ist stored in folder named with the UUID of the wiki admin. Also the alias "http://server.fqdn:8008/principals/groups/mygroupname/" which i provided in iCal turns into ..._uids_UUID-of-the-wiki-admin and only the wiki-admin can access this calendar in iCal.app.
    My research on this topic reveals that there were in issue that should be resolved in 10.6.4 (that is running on our Server). So, again, how to create a group calendar?
    Thanks, Philipp.

    fyi none of my groups were available unless i logged into the wiki as the Directory Admin not Server Admin
    migrated from 10.5.7 to 10.6

    Could you be more specific farmer tan, please?
    You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
    I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    If so,  you can simply right click on the ROOTUILELEMENTCONTAINER node of the UI elements tree in the top right hand corner of the  Layout Tab, and choose Insert Element.  From the dialog, give the name and then choose Group from the listbox.  That's it.

  • Creating Target Group from External File

    Hello Experts
    We need to create target group from external file. (That is to say we will have let's say txt file containing BP that belongs to specific target group and we need to assign these BPs to to specific target group in SAP CRM)
    I have searched for it on sdn and found something benefical. I have found BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE, I have checked it but I don't understand how should we use it becuase as far as we understand it just creates target group, we cannot see anything related with Business Partner. How can we relate BPs with the target group we create by this BAPI.
    What should we do, is anyone have previous experience about it? or is there a way to do it without using BAPI.
    thanks it advance

    Hi,
    You can do this from within the standard Web UI. It's straight out of the box.
    Create a profile set and in there create a target group in the target group assignment block just by entering the description of the target group. Then enter edit mode of this target group and click the button "Import Members". Remeber to mark "Change selected target group" unless you want to create a new target group.

    I don't think that you can create a grouping function in Oracle, but you can create a function and use it in Select statments.

  • How to create public group in office 365 admin panel?

    Dear Microsoft ,
      I try to create group in office 365 admin panel but in that group when i add outsider mail id eg([email protected],[email protected]) is not created ...it's showing error.Can please help me to how i create public group in office 365 ?

    Hi,
    Which error message does it show?
    Based on my research, internal users (users that have a mailbox in your organization) and external users (people that don’t have a mailbox in you organization) can be added as members of a distribution group. However, only external users
    that have been added to your organization’s address book (also known as shared contacts), can be members of a group. For information about how to add external users to your organization’s address book, see
    Create and use shared contacts.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks

    Hi
    Go to  "user administration"-> Identitiy management place "Groups" in the Search Criteria then you will see the options for creating NEw Group
    at the time of Group creation there is a tab for Assigned users from there you can add users.
    Or you select the user name and click on modify and select Assigned groups and assign your group.
