Click Send. A window sums up the sending before it goes:

It gives the total number of recipients and warns if some have no address. When several contacts share the same address, for example two children registered with their father's address, a single email goes to that address and names them all. An email with no text also asks for confirmation.

Click Confirm Send. The window closes and the email appears straight away in the list, in the Sending state, then Sent once all the emails have gone. The notification that follows gives the number of sends that succeeded, failed and had no address.
