Pick mail addresses to use with groups in Address Book

I use a lot of Groups in Address Book and sometimes a Group member's contact info has more than one e-mail address listed in AB. It annoyed me that sending e-mail to a Group often resulted in the 'wrong' address being used, i.e. the contact's private one instead of work.


It turns out that you can choose which address you wish to be used for Group contacts by right-clicking on the Group in Address Book and selecting 'Edit Distribution List.'

You'll get a listing view where you can set the default information for each of the recipients.

Maybe not the greatest hint ever, but hopefully useful for someone.

[crarko adds: I tested this, and it works as described. This previous hint took the approach of creating different Groups for the various e-mail address types if you want to distinguish them. It depends on how you use Groups.]
