How can i create a contacts group from multiple emails

How can i create a contacts group from multiple emails?

Lets say I have 20 emails in a textile and I want to create a new contacts group with all these emails. How do I do that? I couldn't find any information how to automatise this process. Now what I have to do is generate a contact card for every email individually. There must be a faster way to do that. There should be a functionality in apple mail to select all emails in the compose window and do something like right click, then create new contact group with selection, or something like that. I am so surprised that there is nothing like that or I still haven't found it.

Do you know any tools or solutions how to do this?

Cheers

solution 1: Don´t care about groups and just make a plain text file, e.g. in TextEdit App, containing all the emails of a contact group, separated by comma and/or a new line. Save the file e.g. as .txt for later use. Then copy and paste the addresses to Mail App CC or BCC. Formats like this would work:

one@test.com, two@test.com, With Name <three@test.com>

solution 2: Make a .csv (comma separated values file, plain text, e.g. with TextEdit) containing at least the email addresses and a leading comma. Make a group in Contacts App, import (Cmd + O) the file and assign the fields. Your .csv file should look at least like this:

,one@test.com
,two@test.com
,three@test.com

An example containing headlines. Add more fields like you wish. Just ignore the first contact on import:

name,email
One,one@test.com
Two,two@test.com
"One Two Three",three@test.com

If using Numbers to export a .csv file, the semicolon separator must be converted to comma before importing to Contacts App. Could be that you´d want Mac Roman encoding for non ASCII characters.
