How to export email addresses from outlook meeting request - vba

Question

I sent an outlook (2010) meeting request to all company (4000+) and now I would like to send an additional email to those who accepted the request or accepted tentatively.
How do I do that? When I hit Contact Atendees --> New Email to Atendees in the ribbon it just send a response to all company and not only those who accepted. I also tried to export the contacts but it can only export the name alias and not the entire email addresses.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The basis of the solution is found here Get Meeting Attendee List Macro
Here it is with minor changes.

Dim x As Long
Dim ListAttendees As mailitem
'On Error Resume Next
Set objApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objItem = GetCurrentItem()
Set objAttendees = objItem.Recipients
On Error GoTo EndClean:
' Is it an appointment
If objItem.Class <> 26 Then
MsgBox "This code only works with meetings."
GoTo EndClean:
End If
' Get the data

Building upon what #niton wrote, I've added support for checking against the Global Address List. This code could be extended to search all address lists available to you by iterating through myAddressLists, however, in most cases, that will probably be more than wanted.
Note that this isn't optimized for speed, but even a list with a few hundred people invited against a GAL of tens of thousands won't take a computer very long to iterate through. Since this doesn't get run very often, the time saved for optimizing this just didn't seem worth it.
