There's no easy way to send ready-to-use email addresses. I have a list of 65 names for a group I want to give to someone else. If I export them, they wind up in a spreadsheet, and the other person must type them manually. I can send them as a PDF, but that still requires typing each one. What I'm going to do is send an email to the whole group and let all the names and addresses show. Then the other person can simply use Ctrl-C to copy them.

If anyone knows of a better way, I'd be glad to hear it.

You can copy them into a Word doc (or Pages, etc.) and send the doc. Then addresses can be copied.
Also, as long as the pdf isn't from a pic (such as a screen shot) is should be copyable - it is using Preview.

Or copy and paste to a doc using NotePad, not Word or WordPad. Notepad does not do (handle) the table formatting. Adjust if necessary, copy from Notepad and paste to the email body.

OR, save the Word doc as a .TXT file. It will loose the table formatting.
Then copy and paste to the email.

Thanks to the two of you above, but that still presents the info as text that must be retyped. Copying and entering that into the "To" space won't work.

Haha.

You only said you wanted to give them the list, not how...

I just copied a text list of six emails and pasted them into the "TO:" field in my Comcast client and it worked fine. Listed all six as individual emails.

I agree - I do this all the time.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.

Playing around with this, I can't save the email addresses alone as a text file. I'm using Gmail. I can highlight a page of names and addresses and copy and paste, but I still have copy and paste each individual email address from what was pasted.

What kind of file do you have these in?

Since I don't use gmail and have no idea what you have at your disposal...
Export the list to something;
edit the list to get rid of what you don't need;
or save it as text only and then get rid of what you don't need;
save the resultant list as a text file.

What does an "exported" list look like pasted into Word or a text only editor, like Notepad?

Microsoft Word allows you to paste them as hyperlinked. Just look at "Paste Options". A lot of email clients allow you to paste email addresses in the body either as text or as hyperlinked emails.

Having typed a list of email addresses into a Word document, separated by a semicolon and space, I copy and paste them into the "Bcc" on whatever email client I'm using (mostly Thunderbird, but also Outlook, gmail and others). I've never had a problem. If you don't mind the recipients each seeing all the others to whom the email is sent, just put them in the "To".

If it’s exported like a spreadsheet (CSV…Comma Separated Values) you should Import it to another Email program as such (CSV). It should import to the new emailer just like as if it was created by the new emailer. Check each program’s Import and Export capabilities.

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird. I can bring up my address book, create a list and add whatever addresses I want into the list. I can then email to the whole list, or I can export the list. When exporting it gives me several choices of format, such as CSV, tab delimited, vcard or LDIF.
