On Nov 15, 2004, at 9:01 PM, Paul Berkowitz reaffirmed his godsend status by writing:

I don't believe it. (Except maybe if it was on a test database, where every
contact had an email address.)

No, not a test database, but all of my contacts have an email address. I'm still using Mail and Address Book as my primary stores; the Entourage thing is an experiment where I'm bouncing messages on which I want to do more complicated things. So all of my contacts DO have an email address 1, because the only way a contact is added to the E'rage list is from a redirected message.


It may be that Entourage tries to coerce 'email address 1' to a sort of
'email address' property, and can do a whose clause on it. But when it hits
a contact with no email address - error. (That's why maybe if you used it on
a test database where all the contacts had email addresses, it might have
worked there. I don't have time to check just now.)

Yup, this looks right, and this explains my error. Earlier today, I *did* have one contact without an address, which I fixed. Never would have guessed this was the source of the transient error.


Fortunately for you, there's a much better and faster way of doing this,
which will even return every contact that has that email address as _any_ of
its email addresses, just as you want. I guess you didn't notice it in the
Dictionary:


    find "email@hidden"
    --> list of all contacts with that address, or {} if none

Wow wow wow wow. Thanks, Paul. No, I *didn't* see that. Much obliged.

Best,
Jeff
