Ronni I understand it is working for you, but Mail does not auto complete the group name for me, nor apparently Peter. Previous versions used to, now they don't.
I understand and agree with principles of only using bcc. The failing here is the address not auto completing. All I see is the plain text of the group name as I have typed, nothing changes, nor indicates any acceptance by Mail of the address. I'll leave it for tonight and see if I can find any settings in Mail or Contacts another time.
