Missing "TO" lines

Just updated to Thunderbird 78.4.2 (32-bit) today, using Win 10 Pro (64-bit) v1909.

I want to send the same message TO multiple people, but in this update I only have one TO line. There are buttons to add BCC and CC, but no button to add another TO.

If I drag down the line below the message toolbar where it says Body Text, etc, it's just blank. In the previous version doing that would show more lines where I could select TO, CC or BCC for each recipient entered.

How do I fix this?

Thanks!

With Thunderbird 78 you can add multiple recipient addresses per row. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/addressing-email

Thanks much. Guess I missed that change to addressing in T'bird.

IMHO, the new way is clumsy. It's much easier -for me- to read a list of recipients, each on a separate line, rather than all on one line, especially when there's a large number of "TO" recipients.

And if I want to change a recipient from "TO" to "CC" or "BCC", doing that the old way was faster/easier than now having to delete the recipient from the "TO" line, clicking the "CC" or "BCC" button and re-entering that recipient.

EDIT: I guess they can remove the ability to drag the line down below the message toolbar now, because that's useless and creates wasted space.

You can right-click the address pill in the To: line - Move to Cc, or Move to Bcc.
