I received a distribution list in email, saved it in Contacts as a DL.
However, I'd like to save this DL's entries as separate contacts (in Contacts
or Personal Address Book, or another Address Folder) - how can I get it done
automatically, without having to type (or copy/paste) in?

I am using Outlook 2000. My version does not have the File/Import/Export
option to import a tab delimited file into Contacts. It allows for Export of
Contacts though.

Will appreciate any/all suggetions.

Disconnect from the network. Send a message with the DL. Go to your Outbox
and open it. Right-click each underlined name and choose Add to Contacts.
Delete the message.

If you already have a message that you sent with that DL, you can skip all
but the last step.
