Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if there's a more efficient way to send a massive email to my
contact database, currently entered in an Excel spreadsheet.  I have columns
dedicated for people's names, organizations, job titles, and email
addresses.  When I send a mass email, I need their addresses listed in
paragraph form, separated by commas.

The way I've done this is concatenate a column of cells containing commas
with the email cells, paste/transpose the emails/commas from a column to a
row, paste the row of email addresses into a new spreadsheet, save the new
spreadsheet as a CSV, open the CSV using Notepad, and (finally) copy the
notepad contents into my recipient list.

Is there an easier way to do this that I'm not aware of?  Thanks.
