287698 - When I try to send an email to a list, entering the name of the list, it appears correctly as eg "family <family>" However, the message is always returned as undeliverable, having assigned a default location to the address, e.g. "[e-mail]".

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create mail list in address book.
2.Type in name of list to send an email message
3.Send message

Actual Results:  
Message returned undeliverable as described above

Expected Results:  
sent message to all recipients on list
