Yes, "tagging" is a better word. Plus querying for tags.
Either a separate text file, yes redundant, but still simple and I'll bet dummyproof
I might end up doing this. If the names on the list match their corresponding abook entries, I can easily generate a list of up-to-date email addresses from it by looping over the names with "abook --mutt-query". Thank you for giving me this idea.
Another probably better option, enter the custom field with your standard tag item name (ie. holiday_cards, party_people, ...) and then use awk/gawk to search for contacts having those tags. Once a contact is found with a matchingtag name, selecting that contact and send to stdout.
Sounds good, but only as good as the best awk (or other) script I can come up with or find.
