I just sent an email to to 50 people and would like to save those email addresses as a list in Thunderbird. How do I do that?

And how do I save an address List in Thunderbird in an Excel spreadsheet? (I can do the reverse -- copy a column from Excel into a New List and it will create a List.)

I am involved in a nonprofit and these issues are very important in terms of managing email mailings, etc.

Thanks.

You export from The address book as CSV and import to other applications such as spread sheets.

Install MoreFunctionsForAddressBook, then right-click a recipient in the Header Pane of a sent message and save all the recipients to a mailing list or address book (see picture).
