create a filtered view that has just the email addresses or email address

Hi,
we have many contact records (1,800) that we want to use to create some
distribution lists.
To add each contact manually will be time consuming, so I want to filter
the
list based on criteria. I know how to do this in the Contacts pane but
working with Distribution lists seems limited.
Just to clarify: I guess we could just 'Customise view' for contacts, but
what we really want to do is select addresses from that customised view
and
create a distribution list.
Any suggestions appreciated!
