So I was creating a new Flickr group and had a ton of people to invite via email -- how to best export a large number of email addresses from 10.4's Address Book? I couldn't find a script, so I thought about using the freeware AddressWeb as found in the comments to this hint.

On a whim, though, I tried entering some of those names in Mail.app, selecting all, copying, then pasting into Firefox's input field on the Flickr page. Voila, email addresses, nicely formatted with commas and everything. You can even drag and drop the completed name from Mail into a text entry field and have it populate the email address.
