 The "Save address" functionality searches for an existing Person with that
 address before  creating a new one, but it only searches the boot volume.

 I keep my people and mail files on a different BFS partition, so I can
 completely wipe out my boot volume without losing any essential data. So
 this menu item keeps creating a new Person, even when I have an existing
 Person with that email address.

 I have attached a patch that searches all BFS volumes. (Well, technically,
 all volumes for which BVolume::KnowsQuery() returns true, which I believe
 is just BFS volumes.)
