I'm writing a script that I want to act differently based on whether a
user is in the Address Book. Works fine when I search for "records
whose name is...". But as mentioned earlier this month, "records whose
email is..." doesn't work because email returns a list rather than a
string.
I have this solved with a script that recurses through the entire
address book, but as you might expect, response time is now measurable
in 10s of seconds where it was previously instantaneous. There is
clearly some interapplication communication that does this better -- a
rule in Mail.app to set the color of a message from someone in my
Address Book happens immediately.
Is there a way of constructing a whose clause that comes up with this?
Barring that, at least a faster way of figuring out if email X appears
in the address book?
