[Evolution] adding contacts from a text file list

[me <mgbg25171 blueyonder co uk>]

Hi 
I'd like to do an email shot and have the emails in a text file 
ie one per line. 

I don't want to add the contacts to a list as instructed...
ie File > New > Contact List.
Specify email in the single line field
click add
ie one at a time.

Is there some way I can cut and paste the list
into a new contact list in Evolution?

Any help much appreciated.
