Hello, I'm running Thunderbird 31.5.0. I was previously able to send multiple emails in a single To: line field, but now the text turns red and it won't allow me to add contacts from my address book after the 1st contact was added. I figured out after one address is added, you need to press enter key and it creates a second To: field row below the 1st one. This new change isn't ideal and quite cumbersome. How can I go back to the original settings where I can continue to add mult emails in a single line? Thanks!

Red is just a stupid color who ever choose that should think again. You can add more on the same line with a comma (, ) between each address. If one entry in address-book has more than one address then you can put all in, they will be comma-separated. Warning don't put 2 commas after each other.

"MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" can help you with "one entry-many addresses"

In a Write (new message) window, press F9 to show the Contacts Sidebar, then select multiple contacts while holding the Ctrl key, then drag the contacts and drop them on the To: line.
