Creating Distribtion List from contact public folder

[JMH]

I have a contact folder under public folders that hold all of our customers email addresses.&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to make a distribution list out of this instead.&nbsp;&nbsp;2 questions I have are:<br>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there an easy way to use the existing contact folder or do I have to reenter all of this information.<br><br>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;How can I add this distribution list without setting all of these up as recipients?<br><br>Thanks
