The new version of Thunderbird 102.3 is very obtuse in addressing multiple persons on an email. I must bring up the address book I wish to choose addresses, select all, and do a write to create a new email with the chosen addresses. Then I must right-click the TO: box to get a drop-down menu and select all To: addresses, once they are highlighted I then have to right-click to Copy them to clipboard in order to paste them to the Bcc: line in the original forwarded email. This is very annoying compared to the ease it was in the prior release of Thunderbird. Are they working on correcting this? Please advise, thank you. Howard Coutant

You may be judging too quickly. In compose screen, press F9. That brings up the contact list. You can highlight the chosen ones, click the BCC and it's done.

Thank you, David! I did find that the F9 key alone does not work, but when I press the WINDOWS KEY/F9 together it worked perfectly! Thank you again for the very prompt reply!

You're very welcome. I should also have mentioned that, while in compose window, you can click View>Contacts Sidebar.
