Applying a label to a contact

Thunderbird Email and messaging

(Sure I'llbe nice!! Specially if I can get an answer 😉) I'm sending out a newsletter and use Thunderbird. When I get to 80 recipients, it says I'm getting too many recipients to send. A friend said "all" I need to do is attach a label to my contacts, and then can put that label as recipient, and it will go to all my contacts marked with that label. (This is NOT the same as sorting messages in folders, as addressed in a previous question.)

Can you walk me through doing that in Thunderbird? Can I Do it, or do I need to switch to plain Gmail? Thanks. Anne

I think your friend is suggesting you create a mailing list of your recipients, and in that case you're only limited by the number allowed by the mail provider, typically 100. The gmail term for TB's mailing list is 'label'. Create a new mailing list by clicking the icon next to the New Contact button in Address Book, name it and close it, then add contacts from the address book by drag and drop onto the list icon.
