Truck,
As Carl indicate, CSV should be quite easy.
However - I'd advise against this. People signed up to receive mail
from YOUR site. Suddenly getting mail from other sites would probably
be reported as spam - and you're client would be very upset if he got
labeled as a spammer for using your mailing list.
And there's no recourse. Yes, this is an opt-in mailing list (double
opt-in, I hope!). But the opt-in was not to receive mail from anyone
you sell your list to.
It will also get you in trouble with people who signed up on your opt-in
list.
