but the new address

Do you mean "new address LIST"?
Are you in the Address Book window when following Doug's directions?
What name are you giving the new list?
You could post a screen shnot of that address book window. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Posting_a_scr ... _the_forum

I was in the Address Book window when I followed the directions to generate a list called FRIENDS. The list was contained within one of the 3 listst. I clicked on it and saw that it contained the specific addresses I wanted. I started an email and double clicked on FRIENDS and got the word in the TO space but no addresses. I would send a screen shot if I knew how to do it

It sounds as though Thunderbird is doing what it is supposed to do. A mailing list has no address of its own but simply identifies the set of contacts that will be included in the outgoing message. Thus there will be no "email address" shown in the To field when a list is entered as the "To:", only the name of the list. When the message is sent, that list name will be replaced by all of the email addresses of the contacts that make up the list.

I tried using the list in the TO listing but when I tried to send the email I got a note saying thet the entry on the TO line did top contain the proper itemes such as the @ symbol.

Did the mailing list name include a space? There was a bug a little while ago where a embedded space could return that error. I don't know if it was fixed yet.

The mailing list included a space. Now it works. Thank you very much. You were very patient and helpful. I'll call it complete. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!
