This is not a direct answer to your question, but I remember I once had a 
similar problem. I didn't find a way to create a distribution list from 
multiple email addresses in kaddressbook. I solved it this way.

When replying to a mail with several recipients in the header, all the 
recipients are shown in the editor as if you have added them manually, that is, 
as usual. And there is a button to create a distribution list from all of the 
recipients.

I also imported a list of email addresses from a file in mbox format, which 
contained only the header with the addresses from the recipients. When you open 
such a file it will be shown the same way in the editor, so that one can apply 
the same trick with the "save recipients as distribution list" button.

To be recognised as mbox format it seemed to be sufficient to have this format:

From:
To: some@...,
 another@...,

At the end of the second and each subsequent line a comma is required. Each 
additional line with an additional email address needs to begin with space.

Hope this helps.
