How do I REsend an email to multiple recipients in Thunderbird?
I need to 'REsend' a message which has 30+ recipients. However, if I go to "Sent Items" right click > "edit as new message" the list of recipients is truncated to just one ! :-/
How do avoid having to Fn9 and choose each recipient one by one for resending my emails? (In Outlook, there was a "resend" option when right-clicking on the mail in "Sent Items'
All/any help urgently needed and gratefully appreciated ! :-)

Were the 30+ recipients listed as 'TO:' or 'CC:' or did you include them as 'BCC:' on the original message?
Was the message originally sent from a gmail account?
FYI: Gmail removes the BCC addresses from messages that are placed in its 'Sent' folder.

If not Gmail
My attempts to duplicate the problem were not successful.
'<strike>Open</strike> Edit as New Message' brought up the compose window with all addresses intact, whether 'TO:', 'CC:' and/or 'BCC:'.

Thanks for the speedy response Gild. The original email was written in Outlook... I transferred 14 years of emails(!) from Outlook to Thunderbird... many of which are to multiple recipients and need resending (simply changing the text)...
However, since posting my question, I had to send the first email, so, starting from scratch, I duly created a mailing list in Thunderbird. I then sent a brand new email using that emailing list, with the recipients in the "TO" box... I used neither "CC" nor BCC". However, when I right click and choose "edit as new message" its just the same as before with only the first address coming up :-( [very odd that you can't reproduce the problem!] For info (don't know if it's relevant) the account I'm using in Thunderbird is my yahoo.com account.
On rereading your answer Gild, I note that you say "Open as New Message" That is not an option I have... I have "Edit as New Message" Or "Open Message in a New Tab", or "...in a New Window" or "Open Message in Conversation"....
Any ideas anyone?!
A Mailing List in Thunderbird doesn't expose the Contacts it contains.
When I sent out a message today to a test mailing list with four different addresses in four separate domains, all messages were received in their respective inboxes. Sent as 'BCC', first as list name on single address line and then again as all four addresses, one per line. There were No 'TO' or 'CC' addresses. Messages arrived with no BCC line and no other address listed. Message source shows an 'Envelope-to:' the correct BCC address of the account, but lists 'To:' as 'undisclosed-recipients: ;'
When I opened the 'Sent' folder of the sending account, 'Edit as new...' it showed the BCC for all four addresses. Opening any other copy, 'Edit as new...', not from 'Sent' folder, leaves all address fields empty.
As all addresses from a list are sent out 'one recipient per address line' I am not sure why you only see a single address in a multi-recipient message. Especially since you said that you tried sending with all recipients as 'TO', and yet, only one address appeared in the 'Edit as new...' write window.
Anyone else have ideas?
