Since yesterday, when using a mail list (old or new, long or short) I get this message from Thunderbird "not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host". This bug is terribly inconvenient and alomost eliminate the utility of Thunderbird for me. How can I go back to the previous version of Thunderbird that does not have this bug? I am using 31.1.0

If you check the user forum you will find others esperiencing the same problem, just since yesterday.

Confirmed workarounds:

  • While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
  • Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
