With TB 78, if I type in "hello some@where.com", then type a comma (",") - the whole string is pillified as though it was an actual single email address, which it isn't.
When you then send the message, Thunderbird attempts to send it to an address where the local part has a space in it (which is an invalid address IIRC).

Thunderbird 68 seems the same (minus pills of course). Garbage in garbage out.

Hi Eyal, spaces in the local parts of email addresses are actually valid if the whole localpart is quoted [1].
So Thunderbird is trying to be smart and helpful by adding those quotes for you before sending if the address would otherwise be invalid - it's a feature! So as a defect, this is invalid. I'm not sure what a better behaviour should look like (which would need a new RFE anyway, with STR, actual & expected result), but I doubt we'd change this.
