How to Create a Mailing List in Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla or Netscape

Some emails are intended for one person only. Others go out to a group of people. Using Cc: or Bcc: is fine, but mailing lists are easier and more elegant. Fortunately, Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape and Mozilla includes support for simple mailing lists.
