Well, there was a time when balsa would simply list all the email addresses
you had entered for a particular person in gnomecard, but I don't know what
changed to prevent that.  What would be great would be if a tree were used
instead of a straight list in the address selection.  Then, you could select
either all the email addresses for a name, or you could expand the name and
see all the email addresses entered for that name and select from there. 
However, in light of the discussion of gnomecard's obsolescence, this might
be a bunch of work there is no real need to do.

Exactly.
