Didn't know about that, thanks! That does seem like a likely candidate. When I go into that Settings -> Mail... I see "My Info Dav Yaginuma" but when I select it it just opens my contact list, helpfully to the D section but it looks like I never associated a record with My Info yet. However assuming there is some way via iOS to get the fact that "My Info" is already somehow related to "Dav Yaginuma" (maybe that happens during device setup? I totally forget) it's a pretty simple thing to parse the Contacts records for the best match for "Dav Yaginuma" with an address. I'll look into a way to get that My Info record...
Thanks again!
