Multiple Phone Numbers Added to Group Conversation #715

Simple SMS Messenger version: 5.18.2 (latest from F-Droid) Android version: 13

I've discovered an oddity with sending group messages in Simple SMS Messenger, and I'm not sure if it's just something I'm doing incorrectly:

If I want to start a group message, I'll open an existing conversation thread with one of the participants, and I'll tap the Add Recipient button (the one in the upper-right with the user pawn and a plus sign). If I search for and select a new participant from my Contacts list who only has a single mobile number, the participant gets added, and the app works normally. However, if I search for and select a contact who has multiple numbers (e.g., a mobile number and a work number), the participant's non-mobile number is displayed in the search results, and when I actually select the participant, it includes both of their contact numbers (in this example, it would include both the mobile and work numbers in the group message).

To try to work around this issue, I attempted to edit the participant list by tapping the Add Recipient button so that I can see the complete list of group message participants. Sure enough, it lists two instances of the contact I just selected, but in this case I don't know which instance of the contact to remove because the associated phone number isn't displayed.

I'm not sure if it matters, but I have "Send group messages as MMS" enabled.

Basically, I'm wondering if there's a way to select a specific phone number associated with a contact when adding them to a group conversation. What I'm experiencing right now isn't a huge issue, but I was thinking it would be nice to be able to trim the non-mobile numbers from a group message when adding a new participant.

Let me know if there are any other details I should include - this is actually my first Github issue report.

Many, many thanks to the maintainers for all their work on this excellent app!
