Jolly good.

I have a note that 'Display list of user names and e-mail adresses' is active on the test site. Is that the case?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That can be changed to "search for user by e-mail address", which is partially coded.

Thank you. More questions will be forthcoming, but not for a while.

Speaking of which, would you like me to fix that up, or have you been working on it? I have a bit more time now.

Jon, I haven't touched it.

OK. So as I recall, you could live with the black-box functionality of what I wrote, but you didn't like that there were two calls to the database. So it's the latter thingie that I need to correct?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And a search box for e-mails should be added.

So two drop down lists (email ---> userid and vice versa), and a search box?

I'm not against it; just want to make sure I understand.

No, no drop down lists. Two listboxes (though I still question the second one, but methods are methods), and a search box.

Sorry - I meant to say listboxes.

Another reason a listbox is useful is that sometimes the "from" address in an email will be slightly different from the profile email. e.g. maybe there's an added subdomain. Using a searchbox wouldn't give a match; If you used the listbox, you'd see the desired email near the one you thought you were looking for.
