How to add addresses from email to address book in bulk?
I've received an email with a bunch of emails (some cc, some to). I want to copy all of the addresses to clipboard so I can put them in my address book list that I've created. Or I want to paste them to a new blank email.
Thanks!

Right-clicking on something that looks like an email address should offer an option to add it to your Address Book. That lets you deal with them one-by-one.
Or get the add-on:

and this lets you add all the correspondents of a message to your address book.
For even wider scope,

lets you nominate multiple messages to be parsed for email addresses, including in the message text.

Awh, they're saying they aren't compatible with 41.
It's the bulk that I'm looking for. Even rearranging so they are on one line not multiple would work.
thanks for the ideas!
41? Sure you're not trying to install into Firefox? If you really are using Thunderbird 41 then I'd recommend you get back onto the regular release channel, particularly if you want to use add-ons.

Well wasn't that brilliant of me. I downloaded, then went to addons in FF not TB. Next I'll try driving the car with the radio.
Now that it's installed, ....I needed to open an email sent to me, then right click on any address and there's an option to add to address book list. So exciting, thank you!
Thanks for your help!
Next issue is, all those addresses are added to my address book. Is there a way to mark them so they show up only when looking at the list and not when looking at my general addresses?

A Mailing List is a subset of its parent address book. So no, a List won't provide that kind of segregation. Maybe you need more address books?
In the Address Book window, File|New|Address Book.

Yes, that solves it -- and gives me more clue how to work with the address books!
Thank you for both solutions!!! Life is good again :).
