Custom application as an alternate address book?

Hello everyone,

I recently developed a database which records data about several customers.

One of the view is a hidden view named ($PeoplesGroupFlat) - in which each contact is listed along with its internet address.

On R5, this design worked just fine - the user could use this application as an alternate address book and pick a contact from the list and send email.

On Notes Domino 6 however, this view is no longer working.

The user can still pick a name, but only the FLAT NAME is added to the destinator’s list. Of course, the email address is invalid and the mail is stuck in the outbox. It seems the @Command ([mailaddress]) used in the new Notes 6 template thinks that the selected person is a customer from INSIDE the organisation, and tries to build an internal Notes address, instead of an internet style email address…

Anybody has a suggestion or has encountered a similar behaviour?

Thank you!
