I ended up having to do it in Excel, import it into Outlook, export out to a CSV file, then Gmail was able to read it. Sheesh!
But now Gmail won't send the email to them. I wonder if there is a limit to how many can be sent at one time? It keeps coming back and saying that they must be properly formed. Stupid thing. It took them into the Contact list fine, but now I can't send them. I'm just trying to let people know that the email sent earlier this morning, the spam one, is not really from me. There are obviously people out there that do believe such things and think that I was actually in London and were getting ready to collect/send money. And I was sure I couldn't possibly know anyone who would do that. Double Sheesh!
UPDATE: There was ONE email out of 400 that caused it not to send. It has an underbar character in the name. There were others that have it, but they seemed to go fine. Oh well, they are all sent out now. At least I have that going for me.
