Set preferred addre es for Addre Book grou

Dan Moren at MacUser just removed a long-standing headache of mine and I'm sure many others by posting on the ability to ecify default addre es for Addre Book grou . Here's a little background if you're scratching your head: in Mail.a , you can type the name of a group to addre a me age to every member of that group. The catch is that if any of those members have more than one email addre es in their card, Mail.a arbitrarily chooses which addre gets used when that member added as part of a group. This can cause all sorts of problems, ranging from minor a oyances all the way up to sending a FW (Not Safe For Work) forward to exactly the wrong addre .

Enter the wonders of being able to set a default addre for these members in grou . This removes the worry from using the power of grou to addre your me ages. All you need to do is select Edit > Edit Distribution List... (not the greatest name for this feature, IMHO) to acce a panel which allows you to chose default addre es for all the members of your grou . What's even better is that this panel allows you to simply ecify one label or another (Work, Home, etc.) for all the members in that group, i tead of forcing you to manually chose labels for each member, one by one. Nice.
