User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.0 (20070326)

In Address Book of Tb 2.0.0.0 I have Address Lists labelled Family & Friends which have now become very large. I now wish to break these up into Sub Lists under each of those headings, which I can do, BUT.
Tb does not seem to want to drag & drop or cut & paste each Card from the primary lists into the new sub-Lists.
If I hold the Ctrl key whilst Dragging all it does is create a copy.

Reproducible: Always

You cannot create sub-lists of a mailing list in the Thunderbird Address book. You can have the address book with sub-lists of one level only.

For an address to exist in the sub-list it must currently also exist in the paraent address book.
