Hallo BJH,

It won't cause any problems, unless you're going to use %ABToXXX
macros in your messages to them. And I think that only one them will
receive a mass mailing message when you include both of their entries.

It isn't that uncommon, but there is a major difference with a postal
address. Your snailmail gets delivered per envelope, so your
housemates see your name and let it closed. Unfortunately receiving an
email message makes it very hard not to read it. So there is a
distinct difference between the two kinds of addresses.

B> So perhaps this is a shortcoming of TB!?

IMO it's no shortcoming. I guess it's kind of impossible to
personalise a message to a non personal address. Not doing the
impossible isn't a shortcoming, is it?
