Is there a way I can just click the name of an address book and have it populate all the emails in the new message? Do I have to select each individual email every time?

I have a list that is 200 people, and rather than highlight all 200 emails, I'd rather type in the name of the address book and Thunderbird populate.

Is this possible?

Not exactly, but try this: open Address Book and create a new mailing list, name it and then close it, then select the contacts in the parent address book (Ctrl+A to select all), then add the contacts to the list by drag and drop onto the list icon. To send to the list, start entering the list name in the To: box and autocomplete will show it.

Bear in mind that your mail provider might limit the number of contacts in a message, so you might have to create two or more lists.
