Description
Hello everyone,
first the facts:
- Nextcloud Version: 17.0.2
- Mail Version: 1.0.0
- Contacts Version: 3.1.6
- Browser: Firefox 72.0.1 on Win 10 Pro 1909
- Server: apache2 hosted on Ubuntu 18.04 with php7.3
Now the problem:
When sending an e-mail to a contact group, the mail will be send to all saved e-mail adresses of the contacts, not only to the main one.
This is kinda critical, because if i want to send to the business adresses to my colleagues, maybe the personal adresses will be leaked too if i saved some of them in the contacts.
Not sure how to debug that better. The contact groups are fine, when i send from thunderbird to the synced contact groups (CardBook) the mail is only send to the main e-mail address.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Nextcloud Mail with a contact group whose members have multiple email addresses, using the listed Mail and Contacts versions as context. Compare recipient selection with the Thunderbird/CardBook behavior described. Done means sending to a group uses only each contact's primary email address and does not include other saved addresses.
