How to verify if a contact is already on a mailing list if I have more of them?

Hi all,

I have many contacts and many mailing lists created in ThunderBird. Is there a quick way to check if a contact is already on a mailing list? Something like "show me all mailing lists which Alice is already part of" command. Now I always click through the mailing lists and make separate searches to see if an address is already part of some mailing list, which drives me crazy. For example Outlook shows this information when displaying the contact details.

Thanks.

Alex

I use an addon called 'MoreFunctionsForAddressBooks' When I select a contact in eg: Personal Address Book In the section below showing the contact info, there is now a ' search' button which when clicked will tell you all the address books and 'Lists' which that contact is in.
