Description
Feature Request
Actual behaviour:
When composing a message or answering to a message, I type a group name (group in contacts app) in the To: field, the group is suggested as "groupname(Contacts)", I click on it, it stays like that in the To: field.
Expected behaviour:
Individual Email addresses are inserted when clicking on the group name.
Comments
This was already discussed in https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/issues/41 but not fixed.
Also, the "...(Contacts)" is not helpful to understand what is going on.

Research direction
Start by reading the earlier discussion in issue #41, then trace the compose and reply To-field flow where Contacts groups are suggested. Done means selecting a group inserts its individual email addresses rather than leaving the group token in the field, with the current “(Contacts)” presentation addressed as specified.
