I was one of many people included in the "TO:" list of an email I received in my Outlook (work) account.

I want to reply to everyone but not from my Outlook account. I would like to copy all of the email address from the email that I received and paste them into my yahoo email "To:" list.

Why do the email addresses/contact names that I copy from the Outlook "To:" list lose the email address when I paste them into Yahoo email?

Is there a way to copy the Outlook "To:" list to my Yahoo email?

Thanks.

Not sure if Outlook is the same, but... right click on the email in question-->Properties-->Details tab

Sorry, didn't see that the 1st time around. No idea.
Would it help if you forwarded that email to your Yahoo account then go from there?

I had tried that already but, for some reason, the email addresses (that were in the "TO:" of the email I just forwarded" are deleted and only the 'contact name' remains).

For example, in Outlook the "TO:" field displays:
Bob Roberts <bobroberts@email.com>

When I copy that text in the above quote (or when I forward it to my yahoo account) it displays as:
Bob Roberts;

Outlook Express lets you export a copy of its address book - I assume outlook is just as talented. Open the Address Book, then look under FILE for EXPORT. But first, you have to add the received email names to the Address Book.
