I need to send a copy of one of my e-mail lists to a friend. How can I select all the names and e-mail addresses on that list and send this information?

Export it. Check with your friend what s/he can use. CSV is most likely to be useful. If they also use Thunderbird, LDIF works very well.

  1. Open your Address Book
  2. Select the required address book.
  3. Go to Tools|Export on the menu
  4. Enter the name and location of the file to be created. I suggest you create it on your desktop.
  5. Select the file type, probably CSV (Thunderbird refers to CSV as "Comma separated".)

The file will contain all of your address book data; street addresses, phone numbers etc. If there's anything you want to exclude, I think you'll need to use the CSV format, then open the CSV file in a spreadsheet (Excel, Libre Office Calc, etc) and delete the unwanted columns.

Now attach the exported file to an email message and send it.
