Create Single ReplyAll Email / Contact folder, from Selection of Received Emails

Opera-ites,

Version 11.52
Build 1100
Platform Win32
System Windows 7 64bit

I have a download capability from my website in which an email is generated from the downloading user to my email address.

These emails are filtered in to a Labelled folder called "Download".

Currently I have 300 emails filtered under that label.

I wish to do two things:

1. Create a single email to all the unique email From addresses with each From address being put in the BCC.
I can select all the emails in the Label OK but there is no way I can see to create a single email from that selected list.
2. In a related fashion, it would be just as nice to be able to create a Contacts folder from the From addresses in this selection.
I could then reuse the list in an email's BCC, CC or whatever.

I am assuming Opera cannot do this as I cannot find a method to do this. If I am wrong, please let me know.

Otherwise, does anyone know of a widget or plugin that could do this?

(I have done extensive searches on the Opera website - perhaps I am asking the wrong question.)

If there still is no solution, can someone direct me to the relevant software development kit so that I could attempt to do this myself?

regards
Simon

You can ctrl + a in the label's message list, right-click on the selection, goto "Add contact" and choose "Add all the contact here" for the contacts folder you want. (Create the contacts panel folder first.)

When you do this, it should only add From header addresses I think. (But, it might add reply-to headers too though.)

Then, you can use the drop-down next to the bcc field and use "add all contacts in folder" for the folder.

Doh!

Thanks burnout426. I completely missed the "Add Contact" entry in the right mouse click menu.

Obviously staring me in the face......

Thanks, mate, greatly appreciated.
