An unknown limitation of org-contacts. ;)

org-contacts doesn't use `org-tags-view', that's why it doesn't support
this match syntax.

ATM, it is unclear to me how such syntax could be integrated with the
completion mechanism.

Also, I haven't look at the code that handles this in org-mode so I
don't know how easy or hard it would be to use it with org-contacts.


An alternative would be to provide a way to store the addresses of
contacts in a sparse tree or in the *org-agenda* buffer.

e.g.
C-x b contacts.org RET
C-c a m foo+bar RET
M-x org-contacts-copy-contacts RET
C-x b *Group* RET ;; Switch to Gnus
m                 ;; compose a message
C-c C-f           ;; goto From
C-y

WDYT?


Best,
