Hi Michael If you select all the address (either as Ronni has said, or via click on one, then Command-A to select all). Then Right click on one of them, and you'll get "Add to Address Book". This should then add them all to the address book. You'll then need to go through all the addresses of the "new people" and hold down Command key to select the multiple of them. Then once all highlighted, drag them into your new Group you've made. That should then get them in "manually" if Ronni's way isn't working.
Also if you are going to send out an email to multiple people, I would recommend the following. (This is just a bit of a bug bear I sometimes find with "group emails" so I always like to point it out. In Mail go to to the Mail menu the Preferences. Go to Composing and ensure "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is unticked. This means if you send it out in the "To" field it will hide all the email addresses. This saves having to remember to use the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field to ensure the addresses are hidden. (It still amazes me some of the businesses today that still send out emails showing all the names of the people it goes too. Not only do I feel this could be a privacy issue, it just opens up to spam/virii/rubbish if someone else's machine on the "list" gets compromised.). Or maybe it's just my OCD coming through,...lol.
