Here’s what I found with a little sighted assistance. 

Go to your group table and then on the edit menu find edit distribution list. 
Doesn’t seem to be a need to focus on the particular group ahead of time, as a 
table of your groups comes up. 

Interact with the table and find the group you want to edit.

For each person there is a column with their emails, the one in bold is the one 
that will get the email. This is where the sighted assistance came in. Only way 
I could tell if a name was in bold was to mouse click on it. Seems like a great 
place for some check boxes, which would also allow an email to go to both/all 
addresses in a contact.

What we couldn’t tell was which email was the default for the list in question. 
If *main was always the default, or *work, or whatever, that would allow for 
more control. If I find anything else out about this I’ll let you know.

Work arounds for this seem to involve setting up multiple contacts for people, 
each with the different address. Every solution has it’s own problems though.

Ian.
