Thanks, but this time, I have totally cleaned up my old contacts.  I removed 
the old dist lists.  This time, adg IS a group I created in kaddressbook 
using 'new group'.  I now have in kaddressbook only 'personal contacts' as 
address book (removed the old std.vcf stuff).  So, what could be wrong?
