| Thanks Shane,
I didn’t want to complicate matters unnecessarily, and I did state that the field is supposed to contain email addresses, and I only wanted to add a return at the end, so I don’t know what on earth you’re trying to guess. Perhaps you missed what I wrote.
However, your stringValue() is what I was after; works well, so thanks again.
Regards
Santa

In Yosemite, I’ve spent several hours trying various things with this, and poring over Explored 5, but cannot get the contents of a field to coerce to text.
If sender is a text field, contents is no use -- you'd want stringValue(). But you're giving us no real hint what sender contains, and you're not logging it yourself to see, so we're stuck with guesswork.
