Is sending to Address Book Lists broken?

I haven't been able to send e-mails to my Address Book *Lists* for a few
days/weeks now. I get the error message:

*invalid Recipient Address* ... not in the form user@host

The name of one of my Lists is: "! Politics <! Politics>"

I need to be able to send e-mails to my Lists (especially the ones for
my children's school - I'm the parent-teacher representative).

Is this a known issue? Is there a bug I can track?

Thanks in advance!

This sounds like something in your list is corrupt - open the list and
scroll through to see if there's anything obviously wrong - there may be
a blank entry or something.

iirc there have been a few bugs along these lines filed in the past.

I have 8 Lists, and none of them have anything obviously wrong with
them: no blank entries, no names without an e-mail address.

BTW: I've tried Safe-Mode. No luck.

Could one of you please try it in Tb 23.0a1 on Windows to confirm?
