If this is Emailer 2.x, grab yourself a copy of the AppleScript "Save 
many to text" (I think I found it on the fog city web site, if you can't 
find it, I can send it to you). This might work with Emailer 1.x as well, 
but I don't know to what degree the scripts are compatible between the 
two.

Select all the messages you want to get the addys from, then run the 
script. This will save all selected messages into a single text file.

Then open the text file in BBEdit and do a "Copy Lines Containing" and 
look for "@". Of if you have it, use CanOpener and run the "email 
address" filter on the file. Either way will return you a list of all the 
email addresses (BBEdit will do the whole line with the address, 
CanOpener will just do the address).

You can also write an AppleScript to do the parsing yourself if you want 
it cleaner than BBEdit can give you and you don't have CanOpener. Just 
break the text file into space delimeted tokens, and pull out all that 
have an "@" in them. (You can do this is just about any language you 
want, AppleScript is just free and you probably already have it, but if 
you know some other language better, parse it in that).
