Bug 83251 for thunderbird.

In the section "3.4. Address Specification" of RFC 2822, address is defined as
the following:

address         =       mailbox / group
mailbox         =       name-addr / addr-spec
name-addr       =       [display-name] angle-addr
angle-addr      =       [CFWS] "<" addr-spec ">" [CFWS] / obs-angle-addr
group           =       display-name ":" [mailbox-list / CFWS] ";"
                        [CFWS]
display-name    =       phrase
mailbox-list    =       (mailbox *("," mailbox)) / obs-mbox-list
address-list    =       address *("," address) / obs-addr-list


Example is shown in the section "A.1.3. Group addresses" of RFC 2822.

It is very useful and many users hope to support it.
Please support RFC 2822 group list for composeing messages.
