Yes, I saw this too. Here 'category' is behaving only as a property of the
application rather than as a property of the contact object unless
explicitly told "of it" or "of contact 1". That is not the case with any
other element's properties in Entourage, not just 'links' (although it's the
obvious direct comparison since links is also a list).
