Mail Merge Can Not Start. Gives Error "Invalid Recipient Address"

Hi,

I installed the latest Thunderbird Mail Client configured it to send and receive mail, and installed Mail Merge, and created the Template, and added the fields to the body and {{Email}} in the To: field.

However, as soon as I clicked mail merge menu item or the button, it throws this error message,


Invalid Recipient Address: No recipients were specified. Please enter a recipient or newsgroup in the addressing area.


If I entered a valid email address, this error message does not appear. However, it defies the purpose of needing to mail merge.

Any suggestions to go past this?

Once you have typed {{Email}} in the To field, you have to press the Tab key, and it solves the issue.
