Hello, fellow Bat-lovers.

I haven't posted for some time, but I need your help.

I have inherited a mailing list with over 300 subscribers. The person
previously in charge maintained the mailing list as a text file that
he just pasted into the address field to send. I'd like to create a
real email group in The Bat!; I think it would be a lot more easy to
work with.

The text file is a string of names and addresses in standard format
separated by commas, e.g.,

Keith Russell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Joe Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ....

Is there a way I can import this into a group? If, in the import
dialog, I specify "Address list (plain text)", just the first list is
imported. If I specify "Comma-separated (plain text)", the addresses
get imported correct into a dialog which I am then expected to
complete, like this:

Field            Import        Address Book field
Keith Russell    No            (none)
Joe Smith        No            (none)
....

There is a drop-down list associated with each of the last two
columns. I can change Import to Yes and select a field from the
Address Book field list. If this would even work, however, I would
have to change every one of the 300+ lines.

Does anyone know of a better way?

Thanks!
