The problem: Let’s say I‘m writing an email to multiple participants that are listed in some web directory. For example, this directory of the Washington Post’s leadership board. These people are not in my contacts, nor do I want to add them. I’d like to use the native mail client and somehow select several email addresses (try four as an example) from that web page and use them in the To or Bcc fields.
The only way that I’ve found is a kludge, and not even a good one. First, I click on the name of my first recipient to open a new draft in the email client. Then I click on the name field and “select all” and then cut the highlighted email address. Then I close the draft (without saving).
I then click on the second recipient and open another draft. I past the clipboard contents on to the end of the new email address. Then I do a select all, cut, and discard this draft. I keep repeating this step until I have a clipboard full of the recipients and then use that in my actual email.
This sucks. Is there a better way?
