I need to read email through Thunderbird from a specified email and automatically forward some of the contents to a mail list.
I need an add-on to read an email from a specified sender and forward some of the information in the email to a mail list. This needs to be done automatically and instantly the email is received. The mail list is likely to be small max 150. A facility to tweet the same information as a Direct Message to the mail list would also be a benefit.

AFAIK: There is no add-on that allows this. You may have to consider a Commercial product.
It is no easy feat to have a program automatically and instantly:-
- detect and open mail,
- read the contents,
- determine that certain information, possibly randomly located inside, should be shared with others,
- ensure that the program copies all of, and only, the needed information
- compose the appropriate message body with the information included
- automatically address message to a mailing list,
- keep track of number of recipients to avoid providers limits.
- keep track of messages not yet processed
- send the messages, when approaching a recipient limit.
- continue running until all inbox messages are processed and outgoing messages sent.
If the program is automated, even a single message arriving at the inbox could trigger the program to run and issue emails to the mailing list, unless there is also a timer function that allows the program to only run at intervals.
