Pegasus Mail Distribution list export?

Distribution lists are stored in the mailbox folder as .pml files.  They can be viewed with a text editor so try this.  Copy the .pml file you wish to work with to a temp location (so as not to mess up the original), open the copy with a text editor, copy all of the entries, paste them into a spreadsheet app, save as a .csv.

You can identify the .pml filename associated with each distribution list by looking at the settings options of the distribution list.

I need to get names and addresses in a distribution list into a format that another application can import, such as CSV or tab-delimited text file. I know I can do this for address book entries, but can't figure out how this can be done in a distribution list. I appreciate any suggestions. The "About" text in my Pegasus Mail follows. Thanks.
