Documentation is incomplete.
abook_group_database.php
----
if ( $addrbook_dsn == "" ) {
include_once(SM_PATH . 'plugins/abook_group/abook_group_flatfile_database.php');
} else {
include_once(SM_PATH . 'plugins/abook_group/abook_group_PEAR_database.php');
}
----
Address book database schema is described in INSTALL file. If you store personal
address books in database ($addrbook_dsn is not empty), plugin uses db.
I strongly recommend not using current plugin version. SquirrelMail 1.4.9 and
1.5.1 have code that allow to use custom address book backends. If you want to
have address book entry with multiple recipients, you can use standard address
book or write custom address book backend that provides nicer way to handle
multiple recipients.
