Right, that makes sense.

Fair enough. :)

I actually would expect the opposite behavior; I think of a contact group 
as an easy shortcut to a set of my contacts.

On the other hand, what people refer to as a "distribution list" seems to 
be an alias which just lists multiple email addresses, and those wouldn't 
show up externally.

I think those are two distinct entities, and I guess ideally we should 
support both of them...

Distribution lists ought to be able to be included in other groups, to 
really complicate matters.

So I think you should continue with what you're doing, and we can figure 
out how to solve the distribution list problem seperately.
