feature request: drop a textfile into "To" field

My wife occasionally wants to send an email to a half-dozen of her 
fellow singing teachers.  Not always the same half-dozen.

Trying to explain to her how to set up an MPro distribution list is 
out of the question.  (How many times have folk on here, so much more 
tech-minded than she, asked to be re-reminded of the convoluted 
procedure?)

Trying to type all the addresses into the "To" field is a pain for 
her, because the field is not wide enough to see them all.

So a small feature suggestion for next edition of MPro:
  1 -- Let her type all the addresses in a simple textfile.  **One 
address per line** because it's so much more readable and countable 
than a single long comma-separated line.
  2 -- Drop this textfile into the "To" field.  (Of course she can 
also save a copy of the file to disc for future reference, if 
desired.)
  3 -- MPro converts the CR-separated list into its usual 
comma-separated format.

Actually, the only new thing is step 3.  And it's not really that new, 
because the existing distrib-list format is a CR-separated list, and 
MPro can already deal with that.

# Oh, and allow comments in the textfile.  If we're going to refer to 
it months in the future, it will be useful to include a reminder of 
what it was for and when, etc.  (Does the existing distrib-list format 
allow comments?)

Any seconders or thirders for the suggestion?  If so, I'll pass it on 
to Andrew.
