After furious head scratching, Walkman asked:

||| of addresses we already have.
|||
||| Any ideas on how to do this, without making a separate contact for

||| duplicates it I sort it alphabetically.
|||
||| For example, if I am adding " to the end of our list,
||| and that
||| email address is already in the list toward the top, I need
||| something that will indicate to me that the address is already
||| there.
||
|| I am not sure from your description, what you are using to store the
|| list. If it is as Outlook Contacts, then OUtlook itself will warn
|| you. If it really is in a database, then you need to run a Select
|| query.
