If I have an email which contains addresses in this form:

Firstname Lastname <email@example.com>, Firstname2 Lastname2
<email2@example.com>,...

and I want to make them into an address list, rather than reply all.

I tried to cut and paste from the To: field but it wouldn't let me, so I
did ctrl-u to view the source and cut and paste from there, then opened
address book and tried to paste them into a new list, but it put them
all in the first box. If I composed a new email and pasted them into the
To: field it put them in but showed red which I think meant the syntax
was wrong.
