Answers.Text: Thank you! I still feel this is not as smooth as it should be. There should be some space on the organizational page to put an individual contact. I have both personal addresses and organizational addresses for several individuals on our mailing list.

Answers.Text: you don't need space for a single contact, but possibly way more. you can already mix organisations and individuals in your mailing (they are both contacts)

Answers.Body: <p>I also often like to have an individual associated with an organisation, but don't want to create a separate record for them, although that is clearly the more flexible option.</p>
  
  <p>So I have created a simple Custom Data field that I call "Main Contact" that appears on the Summary page of an Organisation contact type, with a simple text field for the main person associated with the organisation. It's not hard to do and fits our use case much better than creating a whole new record for that person. It also means you can customise the Email or Postal Greeting to have something like "Dear Mr Smith, Duke Street Church".</p>
