Ah yes bugzilla entry 20108 captures it nicely already.

My apologies - bugzilla was the one place I did not
look before posting.

I'm pretty sure there is a bug filed about this in bugzilla.ximian.com, although you could check there and maybe file one if there isn't.

This seems evident when I change the email address of a contact that is a member of a list - the contact list still uses the old email address instead of a new one.

In other words, I guess the contact list is not behaving as an alias of aliases, but instead just as an alias of several addresses.


I would have guessed that others have asked/complained about this functionality before - I'm fairly new to Evolution and couldn't find much debate on the subject with some Googling.
