I have a large address book (1,700). I want to send an email to everyone except 50 - and these 50 are in their own list. Is there a tip/trick to eliminate them?

Thanks, Patrick

Well I think the answer to your question is "no".

But I wonder how you intend to set about sending to 1700 addressees. Thunderbird won't let you send one message to that many addresses in one hit, and I suspect your mail provider might object too.

I suggest that you consider a mail merge, which would create 1700 discrete messages, but then your main problem will be getting the 1700 (minus 50) relevant addresses into a suitable file.

And I have to say that the mail merge addon for Thunderbird is a bit fragile, and I'd steer you instead towards Libre Office and its built in merge facility, or a service such as Mailchimp.
