When forwarding an email, is there a way to have an Address Book folder drop down to allow selecting the adressees?

more options

When I forward emails, I usually want to forward to a number of folks from one or two of my Address Book folders and I don't normally want to send to all of the people in each of those folders. I like to tailor the mailing list for each email and in other email apps I've used, once I click on the TO: or BCC: box, a list of my Address Book folders drops down and then I can select a folder from which I can just click on each of the recipients I want for that specific email message. Is this a capability of Thunderbird?

Once you have the Write window open, press F9 to open the Contact Sidebar. Select your contacts from there.
