This is ridiculous - I cannot find the answer to a simple question using Thunderbird Help: "How do I add another recipient to the email I am writing".

I have entered one recipient in the To box but there seems no way of adding another. If I start typing to the right of the one I have entered it all comes out in red even though it is someone else in my address book. I don't particularly want the other recipient(s) to be Cc.

It used to be easy. There also seems to be no such thing as a simple User Manual.

Follow up:

1: I did not realize the subtle distinction between typing the first character of the recipient's name and accepting the full email address that appears in the To box if it is the one I want, instead of selecting that exact same email address from the choices below the To box.

2: "Home/Thunderbird/Emails/Read, send and organize emails/Addressing an Email/Adding new recipients" says: "There are several ways of adding one or more new recipients to your message: Type a recipient directly into the address field, then press Enter. In the same line, just type another one and press Enter again... "

This is not true. When I press Enter the cursor goes to the Subject box.

> "When I press Enter the cursor goes to the Subject box." At what point are you pressing enter? If I press enter after selecting or entering an email then the cursor moves to subject. But if I type a few characters of someone in my address book then press enter to select them, it adds that email address. And stays in the same field ready to add another one.
