Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdepim

There are several related issues here:

When attempting to send to a group, the group is not available for
autocompletion. (This worked with the equivalent "Distribution List" in
Kubuntu 9.10.) Selecting it in the "Select Recipient" dialog adds it as
text to the "to" field -- which is not expanded at ANY point. Pressing
send at this point results in a bounced email, as it was attempting to
use the name of the list as an email address, without ever expanding to
the actual contacts.

That alone is a problem, but I dug a little deeper. Expanding the
"distribution list" in Kontact yields what appears to be an empty list
-- or rather, a list of seven empty recipients.

I've attached a screenshot to illustrate this. Will someone please
explain how it is that I have these applications open side-by-side,
clearly talking about the same list, yet one can see it, and one can't?

This is documented (somewhat) here, I think:

http://userbase.kde.org/KAddressBook#Status_of_this_release

That means someone at KDE decided that this severe of a regression was
acceptable for a release. Really? I'm trying to be polite, but how does
THAT make it out the door?
