Well, all the different save as options, opened with TextEdit all appear the same: emailadresses one under the other, no RTF, just plain text. I inserted ',' between all of them... But EntX still refuses to import them. >>> Then, try opening the result in >>> Entourage. >> >> That's File/Import ... Don't think I do anything wrong. > > Where are these files coming from? We copy/pasted emailadresses from relevant little YahooGroups to our organisation in a file and we wanted to sent them an invitation email... So they come from YahooGroups. I copy/pasted them in TextEdit, then to Excell because I knew it had a 'save as' option koma/tab delimited. > Although comma-delimited files are in > fact text, some applications always use the extension ".csv" for them.

I replaced the csv by txt ... Still nothing. Shall I send you over the file ? I am getting crazy! > What has led you to believe that these are comma-delimited files? Because I saved them as comma-delimited files and I have no idea what a comma-delimited file should look like: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] m,[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],OkstateST [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED], Or [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], Now they are like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Sven-Brussels GSM: +32 (0)485/389679 EntX-OSX.2.1.Jaguar-IBook-500MHz-640MB SDRAM-14GB HD-Airport-AZERTY Keyboard -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
