Hi Francis, > Instead of using collections, Contacts.app defines special vCards to group > contacts. This format looks similar to our own so-called "vList".

this is really interesting and thank you very much for your detailed explanation :) -Christian Rößner -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Axel von der Ohe, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Joerg Heidrich -- [email protected] https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
