I want to send an email to most (but not all) the members of a mailing list - as I used to be able to. In the historic (2015) Help article "How to create and use mailing lists on Thunderbird" the first of 2 methods of "Create email using a mailing list" was "Via the Address Book"; "each contact in the mailing list will appear in a separate To field. This allows you to remove a name, if desired. " To do this, the 3 steps were:- 1 Click Address Book to open it. 2 Select the mailing list. 3 Click the Write button. Using 128.7.1esr (64-bit), step 3 is not available; the 4 options after selecting the mailing list are

  • Edit list
  • Export
  • Print
  • Delete

Is there a way of actually doing what used to be possible before the improvements took place (and IIIBDFI was forgotten?)

1. Click Address Book to open it. 2. Select the mailing list. 3. On the central panel, select the email addresses which you want to send email to. If you want to select multiple email addresses, you can select them with ctrl or shift key pressed. 4.1. Right-click on one of the email addresses you have selected. Then click "Write". OR 4.2. Click "Write" on the right panel. (Please see the attached image.)
