How do I create a mail list in thunderbird

Well the title says it all really.
I have 4 or 5 people I regularly forward the same e-mails to and it's a pain selecting them all the time.I'm sure it must be possible to compile a mail list , thus cutting down on the clicking and reducing the risk of clicking on the wrong one.
BTW I tried searching but no luck.
TIA.

In the address book, select New List, copy the desired e-mails, and save the list with a name. Select the list, and then Write, and the To: should have the desired addresses

 

Thanks Westside, that works when writing an e-mail.
If I forward an e-mail and double-click on "Mail List ", then "Mail List" appears in the To: line. What will appear in the receivers To: line?

I did a test run, forwarding an e-mail to my three sons, plus a copy to myself.
The copy was unnecessary, because going to my Sent mail, I could see, first that what was 'Son' had become: Edward.., Michael.., and Robert. Opening the sent mail showed the three addresses, plus mine in the To:. My copy showed, also the four addresses.
finally, my message was sent in Unicode (UTF-8 character encoding), and came out weird, as if it was in Western. Of course, I have no idea how it will be received. Other than that I am ok.

 

Hi again Westside,

Yeah, I did a test myself with a couple of spare e-mails I have . The To: line had my name from the other addresses on them and they were as I sent them( ie. readable).So thanks.It does what I want.
