My (under a different email) Thunderbird mailing lists stopped working after upgrade to 91.6.1 (64-bit) I can no longer use my address book to access my mailing lists. I just have the overall contact list (which is no longer in alphabetical order) and I click on a list but I can only edit it, not use it for forwarding a group email.

I did have the Directory Pane hidden but, until I explored a bit, I didn't realize I needed to activate the Directory Pane in both View Menus (Main Window View and Address List View). (I edit the list before forwarding so this view gives me a chance to select which addresses get specific emails.) Thank you for you prompt assistance.

If you can't access mailing lists in Address Book, it's possible you've hidden the Directory Pane, under View/Layout (press Alt if the Menu Bar with View is hidden).

To forward a message to a mailing list, press F9 in the Write window to open the Contacts sidebar, then select the list in the sidebar and Add to: To, Cc or Bcc.
