158135 - Items in mailing list shouldn't be added to address book proper

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 85687

From Bugzilla Helper:

I had a very large mailing list (of people at a spam-friendly ISP I was LART'ing
repeatedly). I wanted that list of addresses to be a single item in my address
book ($NAME_OF_ISP).

However, every person in that mailing list was added to my address book as well.
Since I had several of those type of lists in my book, searching my book for the
addresses became VERY slow.

Ideally, if I have my address book, and within it I have a mailing list $FOO
that contains (gross exaggeration here) 500 people, then those cards should only
exist in that mailing list, and should not be considered for auto-expansion. If
I want them in my main list, I shall copy them there!


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a mailing list
2. Add an address to it
3.

Actual Results:  Address is added to mailing list AND to main address book.

Expected Results:  Address should be added to Mailing list, but not to main
address book.
