Personal Address Books are outdated and obsolete. Using DLs is also not the
way to go.
Instead, use categories - you can then display your contacts by category and
drag the category to your in-box to start a new mail message to that
category. All contacts go into the Contacts folder and the Address Book is
only a display of the entries that have valid electronic addresses (email
and fax).
