[A - ####### <"#######"> <> is not a valid address because it is not in user @ domain format. Please correct it before sending mail.]

I have the same problem. It affects mailing list names that one has in the past used successfully many times by selecting the list name from the address book, then clicking say "add to Bcc". When I then click send, I get the error message described by Patrick. Is there a fix for this, please?

Does the list name have any spaces or special characters?

The fix will be in 68.8.0 in roughly 14 days. Until then - Workaround: Use address book or compose window address line rather than sidebar

yes there is a fix, just delete the spaces in the name of the lists, by a dash or underscore. Best regards
