Ok, it was a long shot anyway.

It shouldn't matter. E-groups doesn't change the From address.

Just to be 100% clear, you select an entry, edit properties and add
the groups, right? Hmm, this gets stranger by the minute.

Wait, I can't reproduce this part. I created an address book with two
groups, both with "Hide items..." selected. I then created some
entries in each of the two groups. I made a couple of them members of
both groups. The F7 search did not turn up multiple instances of any
one contact.
Check the properties of these entries, do they have all groups listed
in all the copies you see in the search result?

It looks like this might be the culprit. You could also uncheck "Hide
Items if not explicitly selected" and see if any duplicates appear in
the root list.

Yours seems to be good. Hopefully the above works out.

Absolutely. When they were first introduced, I requested better error
handling for the %AB macros. Unfortunately this was not implemented.
Database debugging is not a fun task.

Not quite. ;-)
