forwarding email

[timfrommichigan1943]

Hello,
I have been a long time user of Outlook 2007. I got tired of unfix-able problems, then I discovered Thunderbird. So far excellent! Just one think I can't figure out.
In Outlook if I was forwarding an email, I could click on the "to:" button, and it would show me all my address books & I could pick names from the list to send to.
In Tbird, I have to think of who I want to forward to and type in a few letters. I would like to be able to pick names from address books instead.

Thanks for any help

I don't have TB but I think if you have the 'composition bar' showing in the compose window (menu bar > view > toolbars > composition bar), you can click on the contacts/address book icon and it should display the list of addresses in a sidebar where you can select which address to add and where to add it (to, cc, bcc).
