Research direction

This is a recipient-picker bug: contacts visible in Samsung/Fossify Contacts (including kSync CardDAV accounts shown as a separate source) do not all appear when sending a message. Start from how the app queries device contacts and which account types or contact sources it includes. Confirm with a CardDAV/kSync account versus Google/local contacts. Done when those synced contacts can be chosen as recipients, matching the contact apps.
