Answer depends on the format of these addresses and your Outlook version,
neither of which you posted.

Outlook version is 2003.
The addresses are simply in the To: part of the message they sent.
The problem with copying them is this:
If you Reply All, and then copy the names to the clip board, the addresses
of the form:
Last, First somwhere.com>
appear in the clipboard (and as Pasted) without the somebody@somewhere.com
part. Outlook seems to be too smart (from security perspecitve) to let you
paste email addresses not already in your Contacts List.

Did you try the instructions I already posted?

I saw the request for clarified address format and version,
but I did not recognize the link as such.
Sorry.

Now, I've reviewed the link and instructions but it did not work.

In Outlook 2003, when I copy a name like:
Valentine, Russ Microsoft.com>
from the To: box of a message, and paste it anywhere, all that shows
anywhere I paste it is the "Valentine Russ" part; the
Microsoft.com> part appears to have been stripped-off during the
copy action, as one can verify using Clipbrd.exe.

My conjecture is that this behavior is some sort of security feature of
2003, intended to stop spammers. Do you think so?

Sorry to beat a dead horse.

No. The issue is with the format of the addresses as they actually appear in
the field from which you are copying. If they are in Outlook 2003's default
format (which includes both the familiar name and the email address), this
method works, since the address service can store both a name and an address
in the DL. If they are in the format of older versions or other email
software (which use only the familiar name) then the method does not work,
since the address book service sees no address to store.

Thank you.

Your thank you means it doesn't work right? This questions has been asked
multiple times. The MVP don't have any problems, but everyone else is unable
to get away from the name only format. I have pasted into a text editor and
it gets pasted as names only. I believe that you have to have the names in
your contact database in order for these tips to work. Nobody has been able
to explain how to solve the conversion problem.

If somebody wants directions from one location to another, understanding the
directions don't do any good if it doesn't get you there. Maybe the person
didn't take into consideration of their directions some hazards such as a 4x4
would be required or there is 500 miles between gas stations. The point of
the matter understanding directions is different than getting there. Search
all the post for this same situation and you will see the multiple people
give your answer and multiple people can't get it to work.

As I've said, I've only been able to get it to work if the Email Display As
field contains both the familiar name and the actual email address. Looks
like the mileage varies on this quite a bit.
