[Evolution] Contact list not recognised as such ?

[Egbert Bouwman <eppo xs4all nl>]

I have created a contact list 'gorilla' with some e-mail adresses.

When I select Contacts in the sidepanel, and then gorilla in the 
horizontal list with al contacts and contact lists,
and then after a richt mouse click: Send message to list
the e-mail adresses appear after To: in the the new message window.
Everything all right.

However if I start a new message in the normal way (New in the task 
bar), and then fill in gorilla after To: that word gorilla is never 
replaced by the e-mail adresses in the list, the message stays in the 
Outbox, and the message "RCPT TO failed: Domain name required" appears 
(not always).

I think I skip an essential step.
