Thank you very much for your response re this (brand new) occurrence. I wasn't able to view the email again because I've already sent it using a different program than Outlook and can't risk sending it twice to anyone.  When I did send it, Outlook didn't specify or show me any particular emails, just a list of "~.org" or even "~" sorts of examples.  (If it showed me specific emails it would help.) It's clearly a new Outlook feature, and it's very frustrating that Outlook also used to have multiple ways of doing other things they've changed without warning or ways to cope with the result.  I used to be able to bring up a specific person with their info, and have an option to sign them up for two or three or five groups at once.  I'd made it 3/4 the way through my list of contacts doing so when that option was dropped.  Now I have to open each of the groups, bring up and add that person, then close the group, bring up a different group and add the person -- which takes ten times as long (no exaggeration), and doesn't allow me to easily think about that person, weigh which groups they should be in and just uncheck them from one or two groups if I change my mind.  

Again, both of these changes were made by Outlook without warning, or suggestion of a way to deal with the impact of the change. You also can't check the email of any group member by hovering over the their picture/name in the list (in pairs) of members of a group, or move from a group to any other list of info without leaving the group, to cite another function that would help. The whole process of groups has been screwed up -- probably by a well-meaning tech person -- and needs some actual users to have input on the various ways they have actually used it previously/need to use it.  I've mentioned a few.  I hope the above is clear enough to for you to provide some help for me (and if possible, a re-examination of the impact of some changes that have been made and the frustrating problems they've created). Thank you very much in advance for your help.

It is not singling out any particular address, just the group.
