I have seen answers as to how to move an email list (say List 1) from one Address Book to another Address Book is to highlight the first Address Book and then do a drag and drop of List A from the right pane to the other Address Book in the left pane.

My understanding is that when List 1 is moved from Address Book A to Address Book B the Contacts in List 1 get moved to Address Book B but List 1, which still shows as a List in Address Book A, no longer shows the contacts when that list is highlighted in the left pane.

My question is whether there is a way to do a 'copy' instead of a move such that List 1 and all of it's contents will show up both in both Address Books A and B?

I understand that I could simply create a new List 1 in Address Book B and then highlight the List 1 in Address Book A (left pane) and then drag and drop all of the contacts into the newly created List 1 in Address Book 2.

It seems as though the 'drag and drop' works as a COPY when dragging individual contacts from a list in the right hand pane but the 'drag and drop' works as a MOVE when dragging the NAME of the list itself from the right hand pane.

Am I correct about the above or am I missing something that would allow me to do a COPY instead of a MOVE and thus avoid additional dragging and dropping?

Thanks.
