Thomas,
OK, I knew about the distribution list but hadn’t realised that
different groups could select different primary email addresses. I want
one group to send to multiple email addresses but could do this by
setting up as many groups as there are maximum number of email
addresses.
So the first email address would be in group1 (this would send email to
email1), anybody with a second email address would be in group2 (this
would send to their email2 address) and anybody with a third email
address would be in group3. Clearly the numbers would significantly
diminish over the groups.
I’ll have a try.
Thanks
Rob

Rob,
You **can** select between different email addresses of one vCard.
In Contacts: Go to the „Edit“ menu and select „Edit Distribution
List“
There you will find a list with all available groups and for each
group a list of associated contacts with **all** of their email
addresses. Now you can select the email address of a group member
which will be used if you send an email to this group. Different
groups can use different email addresses of one and the same contact.
No multiple vCards needed.

Thomas,
I *think* this only works if you create multiple cards per person,
which is what we are trying to avoid There are options to play with
smart groups to get similar to this but the selection criteria is not
granular enough, e.g. you can’t select on second email address.
is that what you mean?

I have created multiple contact groups in Contacts, e.g. one for the
private email addresses and one for the work email addresses. The
distribution list of a group in Contacts allows me to change between
the different email addresses of a contact. That allows me to stick
with one vCard per person but allows me to switch between the
contact groups (or send to all groups at once). In addition I have
better control which email addresses are actually used when I send
an email to a specific group.
