Hi Robert,

You could make the emails of the group into a list and then compare the sender's email with it.

Something like this:

tell application "Mail" to set thisEmailAddress to extract address from (sender of item 1 of (get selection))

tell application "Address Book"

set myGroup to "Group Name" -- Your group name

set theEmailLists to value of emails of people of group myGroup

set theEmailsOfThisGroup to {}

repeat with thisSet in theEmailLists

set theEmailsOfThisGroup to theEmailsOfThisGroup & thisSet

end repeat

if theEmailsOfThisGroup contains thisEmailAddress then

display dialog "it's there"

else

display dialog "it's not there"

-- Check for the email in all people and make a new person if need be.

-- add this person to the group.

end if

end tell

Best wishes

John Maisey
