Overview: After an Advanced Search you can only view the card in an Edit Card
Dialog. You should be able to perform more functions on a card/list such as:

- New Message
- Delete 
- Copy
- Move
Assigning this bug to jglick since the Address Book Advanced Search spec does
not mention these extra buttons.

Especially Delete would be helpful. You cannot even press the Delete key on a
card shown in Advanced Search! But if you do a simple search in the main window,
you can delete. So say your addresses are partitioned into those containing
"mycompany.com" and others, and you want to go through each to delete unused
collected addresses. First enter "mycompany.com" in the "Name or Email
contains:" field. Then go through the internal addresses using arrow keys and
Delete unused ones - fine. But now there is no easy way to delete external
addresses. You can only find them using the Advanced window, and when you do,
you cannot then delete them easily.

Delete button was helpfully added by Aceman in bug 749564.

Hooking up the context menu to found results should be simple.
