Not really, no.

1) Give it a heading line and 2) make sure the last line has a CR/LF
to follow it. It works fine like that.

N> b) It's a pain to do that task every time I want to do a mass email

How do you source the data? Any way you can pump the information via
TB? There are neat Regular Expression methods for creating new AB
entries from incoming message data that I use.

N> Anywhere

Not sure why that would be.
