[MlMt] Use of Contact Groups for Smart Mailbox filter Conditions

[Jim Bates]

All I can say is thanks for giving it a try!

I've got no prob being a tester of sorts; all I can say is HOW CAN I 
HAVE MISSED this app FOR SO LONG!

I'm a long time Unix guy (Linux, Solaris, BSD from 90's+) who's lived 
with mail/pine/Mutt/NeoMutt and various GUI mail clients. But NONE of 
them have the features and function that this app has...

My wife asked me why I'd spent so much time on the computer over the 
past couple of days and I told her that I've been "playing with e-mail" 
and she didn't really believe me. But it's true, I have and I dig it...

Whenever Contact groups gets figured out it gets figured out...  That's 
just a blip on the radar for me - Thanks to the development team - I 
appreciate your work!

- Jim (New Subscriber and quickly becoming a MailMate zealot! NeoMutt 
has been missing me for a few days while this conversion has kicked 
in...)
