Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 40301

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Karen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.1.7

I have about 20 group email lists and would like to be able to use a master list that would call all 20 groups for mailings. I used to be able to do that in Thunderbird. That has not worked for about six months and I must enter each group list individually to send out a mass mailing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make two new group cards (Group A and Group B)
2.Make one new group (Group Z) whose members are Group A and Group B from step 1
3.Send a message to Group Z.


Expected Results:  
The error message says the address must be of the form  .....@ .....

Should have sent the message to Group A and Group B.
