• • • Related BUG - Once you can actually do a task, check "Adams, Milan" and select "Send Email to Contact(s)" task. You get this error msg: "Selected contact(s) does not have a valid email address." However, that contact's email address IS valid. The error is being thrown because he has "Do not email" flag set true. So we need to fix the error msg for this case. S/b "Selected contact has DO NOT EMAIL flag set."
