Hi,

Sorry if this posted twice - the first "Post" returned an error, so I'm not
sure if my original question was sent. I waited a while and refreshed the
page, didn't see it, so I'm reposting my question.

I have a user who would like to create a distribution list from an email he
received. We followed the instructions - selected the names from the To
field, copied, MS Office Button, under Create New Outlook Item we chose
Distribution List, then hit the Select Members button and pasted the the
names in the Members box.

The problem is that OL is not recognizing the email addresses. It places the
names in twice - once under the list of member names, and again under the
email address column. The email originated from an email sent using a contact
list in a program called "Blackboard" - used by a lot of faculty members.

One thing I did notice different about the email addresses in the To field
we copied from was that they each had an apostrophe surrounding their names.
Could this, in some way, be blocking the addresses from being copied into a
distribution list?

Thanks for any thoughts on this.
