That's for sure! Now how exactly did you add contacts who don't have email
addresses to a group? That's not possible (except by some rather illicit
fancy applescripting, forget you heard that). You can't drag or otherwise
enter contacts who don't have email addresses into a group. Groups are just
for email. You can assign a Category to all your clients, but that doesn't
make them a Group. [If by any chance you used my script Category Group to
make a group including contacts without email addresses - just for using
with the Print scripts in Office for Office - it says very clearly that you
need to use Normalize Group if you want to use it again for emailing.]
Category is very useful for denoting "all my clients".

I think if you look closely at your group, you'll find that there aren't any
without email addresses. I don't think that's the problem. But go to Mail &
News Preferences/ Compose. You probably have "Automatically check names when
sending messages."  Chances are that you have some email addresses which
aren't proper email addresses and/or that you use an LDAP server. You can
either uncheck that preference (which might result in your getting some
messages bounced back, but at least you'll know which ones need to be
revised) or check every one yourself first. I'd recommend the first. (If by
any chance you have some contacts in your own company, say, whom you send to
without their domain @whatever.com, then you need to have your domain
'whatever.com' entered in the Account settings as  the "domain for
unqualified recipients" in "Advanced settings options" button at the
bottom.)
