Mailing List managers provide different, global functionality (which is
also desirable under certain scenarios).  However, personal distribution
lists are another animal altogether.  Something like allowing Joe's
"Friends" dist-list to contain A, B and C e-mail addresses, but Mary's
"Friends" to contain X, Y and Z e-mails would be what I perceive as
"distribution lists" rather than the classical Mailing lists (personal
mailing lists maybe?).

While implementing this at a local client level (i.e. local addx books)
is not difficult, doing this at a central address book level might prove
a bit more challenging.

However, when you get into this, you have to start doing stuff like
warning the user when he's created a dist-list which matches an already
existing e-mail address (or providing both as selectable options).

Just my thoughts on the matter.  If I'm off-base, don't shoot me - set
me straight! ;)
