If this forum member has access to a pre-4.4 version of KAddressBook 
then exporting all members of the distlist to a separate address book 
and then adding this address book as new address book to KAddressBook 
4.4 might be an acceptable workaround. In order to send a message to 
this distlist he could then simply select all contacts from this address 
book.

An obvious downside is the duplication of the contacts which can quickly 
lead to inconsistencies.
