Great add-on with a few small issues. The To field dosn't expand with Thunderbird 60 so when you get the to many email's us Bcc instead warning you can no longer edit the text. Autocomplete doesn't play with CardBook, will only search the default collected addresses.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.9.0).Thanks for your feedback !
Version 2.0 just got approved, you can download it for TB68 ! An it can search in Cardbook !
There was also some work on the code that resize the fields (To, CC, BC...). Please keep me informed if that solved your problem.

version 1.9 still really good but, I've found a bug : in 'To:' field, I want to use 2 lists. I can write the first list name, hit enter, the members of the list replace the name (no problem about that) but when entering 2nd list and validating, MRC Compose show me a yellow message "Attention : il est conseillé de déplacer les destinaires dans 'copie cachée à:'"... and the To: field become unavailable. If the developper want to contact me (golfy free fr)

About the bug : it's not a bug, it's a feature ! Really !
I added that as a "good practise" : the "To" and "CC" fields should not contain a lot of recipients, it is recommanded to use "BCC" instead. You can see it in the last image in the addon page.
The limit that triggers the warning can be changed in the préférence panel : second tab "autocomplete", second value "Nb destinataire maxi suggéré".
Please note that it is only a warning : it doesn't stop you if you want to add a lot of recipients. If "to" field is unavailable, then it is a bug. Please use the support email (defined in addon page) to explain how to reproduce it.
Cheers,
Michel

Works great, must be a default functionality in thunderbird.
Keep supporting, please.

Saves screen space by allowing to enter several recipients in the To: field. Could be used as inspiration for the following redesign of TB interface.
Many thanks to the developer.
As a side note, would it be possible to use a non-generic icon for the extension ? It can be very simple, based for example on something like: https://openclipart.org/detail/217810/purple-rounded-arrows
Thanks a lot for your feedback !
I added your idea for icon in github:

I love your addon. Did you notice that TB will need a (partial) compatibility with webextension soon? (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57). Will your addon be compatible? Thanks!

I'm using this with a mostly blind person, they wanted To, CC and BCC fields present, which it does do, but sadly, the "Reply-TO" is listed, checked in the gear, ghosted and cannot be removed. This is one field that I didn't want there, just means one more field for the person to tab past, can this be repaired soon?
And any possibility to add "To:", "CC:" and "BCC:" to the background text so the person can tell what field they are in with their narrator?
Thank you for your interest in MRC Compose !
For the "Reply-TO", it is greyed in the gear menu because there is an option (in the third tab of preference panel : "Always show TO field") that is checked. It's the same for the field BCC. The idea is that the preference define a global behavior, while the gear menu define a behavior only for the current compose window.
For the other question and the background text, please use the support email to give me more details : what exactly is used by the narrator ?
Cheers,
Michel

Excellent add-on, but when you have a lot of contacts as I do (over 3000), when I start typing a contact, the MRC compose, instead of waiting for me to pause typing, immediately starts to look up contacts, and then when I type the next letter it starts again with the lookup. So it is very very slow to catch up with my typing.
There should be a short delay (maybe 400mS) to allow a user to type several characters before it starts to look up the address book.
Thank you for your interest in MRC Compose !
I took care of large number of contacts, not as you suggested by a timeout, but in a simpler way : just a number of characters before starting search.
You can change it in the preference panel, second tab, option "Start search after nb characters". Set it to 2 or 3 to eliminate most of yours slowdowns.
Hope it'll help you.
Cheers,
Michel

Great add-on, increase functionality of Thunderbird.
But fail for news: groups, due to requirement to have "To:" field filled. It shouldn't be a problem to recognize news groups.
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It helps a lot for regular mails but it doesn't allow to post replies to newsgroups. It requires TO field to be provided, which for newsgroup doesn't exists.

Thank you for your good extension;
But when I upgraded Thunderbird to version 51Beta, I couldn't send messages.
Please fix this bug.
Thanks again
Hi,
Thanks for your feedback.
For bug reports, please use the email support. It'll be easier for us to communicate.
As an example, the compatibility with TB51 is fixed in internal dev version and I could ask you to test it.
Cheers,
Michel

Very useful extension and very good work. On top of that the author did answer quickly to my support request, giving me relevant information.

Conflict with Cardbook 10.7 - autocomplete address do not work
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8.2). This user has a previous review of this add-on.Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Addon works as described.
However — and after a Thunderbird reset and some debugging work to figure out the cause — it seems this addon changes the HTML font setting in Thunderbird Options -> Composition -> General -> HTML to a size of "x-small".
Even a manual reset of the font size in a Thunderbird session is lost when Thunderbird is restarted.
Not sure if the problem is solely the fault of MRC Compose or MRC Compose in conjunction with another addon, but the bug does go away when MRC Compose is disabled.

I have been looking forever for this add-on. It allows me to enter 'cc' and 'bcc' fields from the keyboard (without using a mouse). Thank you!

Thanks for providing this excellent Add-On! It greatly improves editing recipients. Works well on OS X 10.9.5 with TB 38.2.

A great improvement to the traditional way of entering email recipients!
The latest version however breaks the BorderColors GT addon. Too many changes in the message window overlay?
[sorry for the bug report here, is there a better place?]
Thanks for your feedback !
For bug report, you can use the support email, defined in the right column.
I tested with current version of BorderColorsGT and saw no problems. (Disclaimer : I installed BorderColorsGT *after* mrc compose)
With support email, can you send me screenshots to describe what doesn't work for you ?

Greate add, but after update to 38.0 I have a problem with this add.
I'm using PKI, but if this add is runing thunderbird not sign my e-mails and every time when I want crypt. message I have notification to configure PKI.
The problem has been identified and is being corrected. A new version will be available in next days. Thanks for your support.

Thanks so much!! I just changed two week ago from apple mail to TB and I was excited about its functionality and configurability. The only thing I really was pissed off was this cranky UI for addresses of mail recipients.
I have to write many times mails to several but always different people. I always had to look up with the scrollbar who was already included as recipient. It happened twice to me, that I changed my mind during writing and forgot to remove a person, because I could not see who I have already added. With sensitive mails (e.g. in human resource issues) this could be disastrous!
Your plugin is really a relief!
Thanks !
