In Thunderbird, I no longer can expand a mailing list in the "To" field.

I used to be able to enter the list name in the "To" field, then select "Expand group" or something similar in the Tools option on the toolbar. There's no option to expand the group anymore. I believe I am using the latest version of Thunderbird, which is 68.5.0. Please help.

There is an updated add-on to expand lists, but it can also be done manually: in a Write window, open the Contacts Sidebar (F9), select a mailing list, right-click, Edit List (Ctrl+I), click OK, select the contacts in the sidebar while holding Ctrl, then click Add to To or Bcc at the bottom of the sidebar.

Many thanks, sfhowes. I was able to find the latest version of the add-on and it seems to be working. Also, your manual version worked perfectly, too. Thanks again.
