Hi,

If org-contacts-template-email doesn't find an address, it doesn't 
insert a simple text prompt, it inserts a property prompt, which sets 
the property. A property prompt does not need to be positioned in an 
explicit property drawer in the template -- in fact, it looks like 
that will not work.

Removing the EMAIL property and moving the 
"%(org-contacts-template-email)" field out of the property drawer works:

(setq org-capture-templates
      '(("t" "TODO in ~/org/agenda.org -> Tasks" entry (file+headline 
"~/org/agenda.org" "Tasks")
         "* TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^t\n%U %a")
        ("c" "Contact in ~/org/contacts.org -> Contact" entry 
(file+headline "~/org/contacts.org" "Contact")
         "* %?%(org-contacts-template-name) %^g 
%(org-contacts-template-email)
:PROPERTIES:
:URL:
:WORK:
:HOME:
:MOBILE:
:LOCATION:
:BIRTHDAY:
:NOTE:
:END:")))

You still get EMAIL at the end of the property drawer, but the order 
is arbitrary anyway. You could replace the whole properties drawer 
with property prompts:


(setq org-capture-templates
      '(("t" "TODO in ~/org/agenda.org -> Tasks" entry (file+headline 
"~/org/agenda.org" "Tasks")
         "* TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^t\n%U %a")
        ("c" "Contact in ~/org/contacts.org -> Contact" entry 
(file+headline "~/org/contacts.org" "Contact")
         "* %?%(org-contacts-template-name) %^g
%(org-contacts-template-email)
%^{URL}p %^{WORK}p %^{HOME}p %^{MOBILE}p
%^{LOCATION}p %^{BIRTHDAY}p %^{NOTE}p")))

...but then you'd be prompted for everything, each time; you may not 
want that.


Yours,
Christian
