Dear All,
When trying to copy email addresses from the to/cc/bcc section at the top of an email, if the email is in the format (example only) -
Joe Bloggs <joe.bloggs@isp.com
then even if you copy the whole line as shown above as it appears in the to/cc/bcc section of the email (even if I take it from a "reply to all" email made from the original received email), then in Excel or in any other document that you paste to, including the "members" box of a distribution/contact group list, the result of the paste is -
Joe Bloggs
So, the <joe.bloggs@isp.com> section is NOT pasted.
However, if the email in the to/cc/bcc section of the email is in the format -
joe.bloggs@isp.com
without the pointy brackets (ie the sender may have put the address in manually in his to/cc/bcc box or has not associated a name with the email in the contact list), then the result of the paste is -
joe.bloggs@isp.com
without the name Joe Bloggs, which is understandable, as no name is associated with that email address.
So, my question is -
How can you copy an email address in the form of "Joe Bloggs <joe.bloggs@isp.com>" from the to/cc/bcc box in such a way that when you paste it to Excel or in the "members" box of a distribution/contact group list, then everything gets copied - ie if the email address in the to/cc/bcc box is Joe Bloggs <joe.bloggs@isp.com>, then BOTH the name and the email address are copied and not JUST the name, which seems a bit brain damaged to me for the software to behave in this way. If you can see it, you should be able to copy and paste it.
Many thanks.
All the best, cheers and enjoy.
