paul.mcgurn Using an email address as the Key for a Map
This seems to be bugged.
Example
Map<string,Contact> ccMap = new Map<string,Contact>();
Contact c1 = new Contact();
c1.firstname = 'Joe';
c1.lastname = 'User';
c1.email = 'joe@example.com';
c1.accountId ='<some id>';
ccMap.put(c1.email,c1);
This will always retgurn null:
Contact con = ccMap.get(c1.email);
I didn't see anything in the Apex documentation noting restrications on the string's value when creating a custom map.
