Getting "Invalid Recipient Address" Error message when trying to email to a list

When I try to email one of my lists in Thunderbird, I'm getting this error message - Invalid Recipient Address Mens Group <"Mens Group"> <> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.

This is a LIST, not an email address, what's going on? I've never had this problem before - it just started occurring. It looks like a bug to me. In 15 years of using Thunderbird, this has never happened before.

Help please, thank you.

Have you updated to 68.8? If not, change the name to Mens_Group (no spaces).

Thanks - after I posted my question, I saw this answer on another post. I'll try that and also try updating.
