It goes into whatever default address book I'm using, and provided that book has the "Treat multiple addresses as...a distribution list" button set, I can later just type "my" into the To: box, and that list is offered as one of the completion options.

It may be easiest to manually edit the vcf file. I have actually forgotten how I originally made mine, but I think a distribution list is just a single entry with multiple email addresses. As I remember, the format is pretty obvious once you actually look at it. You could also create a list with just two addresses to confirm the format, and then do the rest in your favorite text editor.

Thanks.  I'll give that a try.
