How to Expand the Recipients in Mailing List in Mozilla Thunderbird
This Thunderbird's add-on comes very helpful when you use a "Mailing List" tool . A Mailing List could be as long as 20+ people. This add-on lets you exclude as many recipients as you want from mailing without having to pick every person individually. This article will teach you how to accomplish this task.

As an example we will use a mailing list with a name "Friends".
Steps

Using PopMailListRecipient add-on

Sign in to Mozilla Thunderbird

Install "PopMailListRecipients" add-on from this TB's official site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/popmaillistrecipients/?src=ss

Click on "Write" button to start creating your mail Write_button.png

Bring up a "Friends" mailing list into the window as shown on image It's a good e-mail etiquette to use a "BCC:" instead of "TO:" when you mail to several people at once.

Type up your e-mail text

Decide which people on the list you want to exclude from mailing

Click on Tools --> Expand Recipients option It will display all the names with their e-mails on this list

Assume that our Mailing List contains 15 recipients, and you want to send your mail to all but exclude "Marina" and "Doris" from it.

Highlight the entire line with "Doris" and click on "Delete" button on your keyboard

Highlight the entire line with "Marina" and click on "Delete" button on your keyboard again

Click on "Send" button to send your e-mail

Done. Your e-mail will be received by everybody on "Friends" list except those 2 deleted.names.
