You can approach it even easy than that -- to create a new thread in 
Thunderbird,
just right-click on the highlighted-underlined "Triangle Linux Users 
Group...", and
select "Compose Mail To".

In fact Thunderbird tries to highlight any email address it can 
recognize in a message.
You can right click any of these and select "Compose Mail To" to send a new
message to that email address.

Of course you can elect to save TriLUG's email in your address book, and 
just
click on the "Write" icon (or menu to Message->New Message) and just type
"trilug" in the "To:" field.  Thunderbird will interpolate this into the 
fully expanded
form and you can just hit [ENTER] and tab down to the blank subject line.

Either way, you shouldn't have to type the whole thing in the To: field.
