I agree with Henry, who wrote "we can ask Benny to fix Contacts flaws.
Maybe we can ask for an interface to \[Busy
Contacts\](www.busymac.com)".
A Mailmate-Busy Contacts linkage would be wonderful.

Ed,
The app I use instead of Contacts which accesses the database just
fine
(and stores is away in its own configuration, BTW) is Busy Contacts.
It
uses a different methodology that makes it compatible but separate and
more stable. It uses a tag field so you can sort on the tag. I
haven’t
quite figured out how to find by tag AND select the found items in one
stroke.
If I can do that I will be able to export that entire selection to an
email bypassing all the other stuff - manual selection, etc. Then
it’ll go straight to MailMate either in the To: or BCC: field
without
any interaction with MailMate.
Of course, as is MailMate only works with Contacts so we’re stuck
with
all the flaws. It ain’t MailMate, though. I don’t we can ask Benny
to fix Contacts flaws. Maybe we can ask for an interface to [Busy
Contacts](www.busymac.com) though. What say you Mr. Wizard?
Respectfully,
Henry Seiden

I notice three things overall in my use of Contacts with MailMate:
1. In Contacts, the group name is very difficult to add or rename -
seems an app issue and not the only one in Contacts, which is why I
don’t use it. Unfortunately my preferred app, Busy Contacts
doesn’t have the same feature, it has others.
2. Expansion of the group to show emails in MailMate. In an existing
email (like this one), the group name just sits there. It isn’t
expandable to a list of names for me, while in a new (empty) email
it
is. MailMate issue?
3. The dropdown in MailMate does appear for each person in the
expanded Mail list, once expanded view is showing, however alternate
emails in each contact’s info are not visible or selectable.
I believe that you are correct in that Contacts.app is involved.
I believe that if a contact card comes from more than one set of
contact groups (say, iCloud, LocalISP, Gmail), then it won’t show
up
when the group completes. You can tell by looking at the contact in
Contacts.app and looking for the entry for “cards” just above
“note”.
If you are using a Smart Group, this can cause the address to show up
twice.
I have my all my Contacts pruned accordingly, and it is working for
me
now.
Thanks, for the tip, Henry.
