      another option is to do a regex find for the emails, and hit "Find in all open documents".
      This will open a view of all lines in all open documents matching that search pattern.  You can then copy everything from there to another location (like a new file) for further processing. 

      An example regex to match e-mail addresses would be: ([-a-zA-Z0-9_.]+@[-a-zA-Z0-9_.]+)

      I would also suggest you study about regex search and replace patterns, as they are very useful in processing more complicated patterns like this. 

      As for the lack of willingness to use other external (command line) tools for what you would expect a text editor like Notepad++ to be able do; that is understandable (especially since NP++ is a Windows program so many of the users will not be familiar to the command line tools that Linux/Unix power users are familiar with).

      Hello all.

      One is the way of software. Open source.
      I think that is very noizy to use for extractions other programs. It is very easy for someone who knows the 
      plugin language to make sutch a plug-in.
      A crowler plug-in ...

      Thank's
