Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: 3.0.4 Thunderbird - latest version downloaded May 16 2010

I have a group called 'ALL' which points to sub groups G1, G2, G3 (total 9).
I get 'Invalid Recipient Address' message, shows subgroups, but says "..is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail"
I have been using this in all previous versions (5+ years)but now the errors.
Sub-lists are regular email addresses, top list simply calls the sub-lists to get the names.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter several email addresses - individual contacts - joe@email.com
2. Make some sub groups - group1, with names as in 1 above - joe@email.com; fred@gmail.com; martha@yahoo.com then group2, etc 
3. Make new grouplist 'big group' then call group1,group2,group3 as recipients

email send crashes as shown in details above
Actual Results:  
I get 'Invalid Recipient Address' message, shows subgroups, but says "..is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail"

Expected Results:  
Send email to the 30 or so recipients of the 10 sub groups

Frustrating, since it worked in all previous versions
