What's happening is that once a new list has been created, we are not selecting
that new list (at least on linux). Instead we keep whatever was selected
beforehand in the selection.

Also, when you *do* select the new list, and hit New Message, only the first
recipient is showing up here, although that's probably another bug...

Is this going to get any attention. Addressbook has had major changed to it, but
this still does not work?  Btw the reason it selects the first card on the list,
is because the first card has a selection box on it. So when getselectedaddress is
called it reports the card and not the mailing list. (btw it can handle cards,
which it does just fine with for the sidebar addressbook.)

Marking nsbeta1 because this should work when the list is selected from the
directory pane.

[racham]

This was fixed. Compose window is filled with all the addresses of the mailing
list selected on the directory pane.
