 Ah, I never tried that. Flaw in the system. Maybe that's what lets my
'illicit' script work too.  Dragging contacts without email addresses to a
group won't work - they're rejected.

Much better. You could have done it with a 3-line AppleScript, or the one I
mentioned in my last email : 'Normalize Group'. that would have done it for
you in a few seconds.

Sounds like a bug in the script that has never been reported before. My
guess, offhand, would be that the number of recipients is precisely
divisible by the 'limit' number, and that the script is expecting one final
message which doesn't exist. Have the others all been sent out? If not, try
removing one person from your group (send him a separate email), then try
again. I'll take a look at the script in the meantime, to see what the
problem might be. 

What is the limit you're using? And how many people in the group?

I think we should continue this privately. Reply to me directly. If and when
we get a fix, I'll announce any script update.
