I should've known you'd already written a script for it :) You always come
through!

AHA!... This was one of the very first tricks i tried, sort-of. Except
instead of dragging the group icon over to the body, I was dragging the list
from the open group window over...which results in a mess of addresses all
in a row, not in a nice tidy column. Thank you for pointing this out. For
some reason it never occurred to me to just drag the group icon over! Nig
DUH on my part.
