There is a safety measure (which is a good thing) not to allow you to leave a field blank. But that should only apply to "Contains". You ought to be allowed to leave it blank for "Is not". Or there ought to be a popup item "Is blank", which is more in line with how Entourage presents things. Or else you should be able to put in a "wildcard" symbol meaning "any character" for "Contains" or "Is", which would be getting a bit fancy for an email client/PIM. Although you can find the results you want with AppleScript, there's no way to display them in a Custom View. Feature request: an "Is blank" popup item. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
