It makes it very hard to troubleshoot. Your comment about distlists intrigued me, so I checked, but those lists refer to ones I set up long ago, related to std.vcf. Out of curiosity I opened that file, the old list exists, but it contains only messages that the contacts no longer exist. I feel that contact are lost if they are no longer in the cache, which is a disaster for me.
