Sorry, this is not (yet) possible.

Not quite sure I got that, but the best workaround is probably to tag 
messages from people in the Address Book group (if possible), create a 
smart mailbox with those messages based on the tag, and then make “is 
in” smart mailboxes based on the from header of messages in that 
mailbox.

One way is to use Google: 
http://www.google.com/search?q=site:lists.freron.com+address+book

The non-searchable archive is here (for the sake of completion): 
http://lists.freron.com/mailmate/

I haven't myself added MailMate to any searchable online archives like 
Nabble. I guess because I would then first have to decide which online 
archive is optimal (occupational hazard). Suggestions/opinions are 
welcome.
