Is it possible to create a list using the addresses in the "TO" list from a received email?
I have a very large group I'd like to create an email list for. I don't want to have to search in my address book for every address that needs to go into it. Is there away that I can use an email that I've received which has been sent to every member I want in the list - all are listed in the "To" portion of the header - and create a list from those addresses? Thanks.

Clicking the star right to each email address will add the address to the address book (star turn yellow).
You can then create a mailing list via drag and drop.

I know how to do that. I don't want to have to take the time to search through the gazillion addresses in my address book to find each one and then drag or type them into the list. My question was is there away to have all the addresses in the "To" field used to create a list by - for instance - somehow selecting all of these addresses and saying create a list from them. Or clicking on an option that would give me the ability to create a list from all the addresses in the "To" field of a specific email. Thanks.
This article is over two years old. Does this "adds on" still work with the current version of Thunderbird? It would be nice if the feature were in Thunderbird itself. I don't have time right now to mess around trying to add something - especially since it may or not still work. And then do you have to add it again every time Thunderbird update which is pretty frequently?
The add-on still works here in TB 24 & 30, otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it. I don't think you will find it doesn't work with any major release version of TB, which now arrives about once a year.
