How to get email addresses from distribution list in outlook using VSTO

I have written this excerpt of code to grab the email addresses of users from the to, cc and bcc lines when the email send button is clicked.

if (Item is Outlook.MailItem)
        {      
            Outlook.MailItem mailItem = Item as Outlook.MailItem;
            Outlook.Recipients myRecipients = mailItem.Recipients;
            foreach (Outlook.Recipient recipient in myRecipients)
            {  
                addresses.Add(recipient.Address);
            }
        }

The code does what I need it to do. However, if the user enters a distribution list in the to, cc or bcc lines my program is not able to read the email addresses from the distribution list. I am looking for a solution to either read email addresses from the distribution list or expand the distribution list.

You can call ResolveAll() method of Recipients or Resovle() for each Recipient. After resolving all addresses get ExchangeDistributionList object via GetExchangeDistributionList() which provides the method GetMemberOfList() which it its turn returns AddressEntries object.
