The actual LibBalsaAddress data structure contains all the addresses
listed
in the vCard for that person. All that is needed is a GUI way to choose
which one.

Which reminds me. The address book currently has an option todo with
whether a vCard represents a mailing list or a single person (it modifies
how multiple addresses are treated...) By mailing list I mean a list of
individuals addresses, not a mailing list like balsa-list.

We really could do with a coherent model for this.. I think vCards are not
intended to represent a mailing list, but rather one person, with possibly
multiple addresses - as in you only probably send mail to one address at a
time. So perhaps we should introduce our own method (perhaps another class
of address book) which represents mailing lists... Just a thought...
