Hmmm..... Glad you were successful, Anne. I tried a couple more times 
following the instructions VERY carefully, but the problem continues 
unchanged.

So given that the instructions worked for Marc and Anne but not for me, 
either I have something screwed up in my KMail/Akonadi that's not 
allowing the instructions to work, or I'm just not understanding the 
part of the instructions about saving the list (group) to the proper 
address book.

In any case, I don't want to belabor the problem as it's probably 
something I'm doing wrong. And a viable work-around was offered.

I ended up taking Sinclair's suggestion to enter all the names into a 
dummy e-mail and then save as a template. That worked and I'll simply 
recall that template as needed.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed here. I really do appreciate 
your time and wise counsel.

(The trip to Zimbabwe sounded really nice!)  :o)
