<p dir="auto">Ed,</p>
<p dir="auto">The app I use instead of Contacts which accesses the database just fine
<br>
(and stores is away in its own configuration, BTW) is Busy Contacts. It
<br>
uses a different methodology that makes it compatible but separate and
<br>
more stable. It uses a tag field so you can sort on the tag. I haven’t
<br>
quite figured out how to find by tag AND select the found items in one
<br>
stroke.</p>
<p dir="auto">If I can do that I will be able to export that entire selection to an
<br>
email bypassing all the other stuff - manual selection, etc. Then
<br>
it’ll go straight to MailMate either in the To: or BCC: field without
<br>
any interaction with MailMate.</p>
<p dir="auto">Of course, as is MailMate only works with Contacts so we’re stuck with
<br>
all the flaws. It ain’t MailMate, though. I don’t we can ask Benny
<br>
to fix Contacts flaws. Maybe we can ask for an interface to [Busy
<br>
Contacts](www.busymac.com) though. What say you Mr. Wizard?</p>
<p dir="auto">Respectfully,</p>

<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; border-left-color: #BBBBBB; color: #BBBBBB;"><p dir="auto">I notice three things overall in my use of Contacts with MailMate:
<br>
1. In Contacts, the group name is very difficult to add or rename -
<br>
seems an app issue and not the only one in Contacts, which is why I
<br>
don’t use it. Unfortunately my preferred app, Busy Contacts
<br>
doesn’t have the same feature, it has others.
<br>
2. Expansion of the group to show emails in MailMate. In an existing
<br>
email (like this one), the group name just sits there. It isn’t
<br>
expandable to a list of names for me, while in a new (empty) email it
<br>
is. MailMate issue?
<br>
3. The dropdown in MailMate does appear for each person in the
<br>
expanded Mail list, once expanded view is showing, however alternate
<br>
emails in each contact’s info are not visible or selectable.</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">I believe that you are correct in that Contacts.app is involved.
<br>
I believe that if a contact card comes from more than one set of
<br>
contact groups (say, iCloud, LocalISP, Gmail), then it won’t show up
<br>
when the group completes. You can tell by looking at the contact in
<br>
Contacts.app and looking for the entry for “cards” just above
<br>
“note”.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you are using a Smart Group, this can cause the address to show up
<br>
twice.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have my all my Contacts pruned accordingly, and it is working for me
<br>
now.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks, for the tip, Henry.
