Title:
  list addresses do not expand correctly

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Click 'New mail', in the address field type in a list entry from your
  address book, e.g. 'List address'. Press 'Send' - does not work.
  Instead of expanding the list into individual addresses it used to do
  in the previous versions, it reports:

  List address <"List address"> is not a valid e-mail address because it
  is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the
  e-mail.

  This bug has been introduced in transition from the previous version
  to the present. I have encountered it both in 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS
  which I run on my laptop and desktop, respectively. I am guessing it
  could have been introduced by trying to fix #1171543.

  A workaround: selecting list address from the address book generates
  an email with all the addresses expanded. Sadly, this does not work
  with forwarding emails, which I need to do often daily (emails to
  coworkers). The bug is still encountered after turning off all add-
  ons.
