Is there any way to copy and paste one or more contacts into an email list (not an address BOOK - an email LIST)?

I have about a hundred email lists to populate, each one containing several dozen contacts. The only way I can see to populate an email list is to type (!) the names and addresses into the list. I need a way to copy and paste the entire contents of, say, an address book, into an email list.

In Eudora, by the way, this was easy. You could even mix email addresses, nicknames, display names, and aliases in the email list. The ease and flexibility of creating email lists in Eudora appears to be tragically missing in Thunderbird.

Perhaps someone knows of an add-on for Thunderbird that would provide this function?

The contacts must exist in the address book that you create the mailing list in. After that make sure the Directory pane is turned on and showing in the address book window. If it is not showing, from the menu bar select View-Layout-Directory Pane Click on the address book so its contacts are showing in the main window You should see the Mail List as a subfolder of the address book. If not, click the small pointer beside the book to expand the view. Now find and select the contacts for the mail list and then drag and drop them on the mailing list folder to add them to the list.
