It would be really cool if there was a way to manage a central contact database that could be used by mozilla/thunderbird and by Evolution. (Central the user, not necessarily a big RDBMS somewhere.) One could imagine then developing little applications which could use this database, e.g. to import into OOo mail merges and such. -- Garrett D'Amore, Principal Software Engineer Tadpole Computer / Computing Technologies Division, General Dynamics C4 Systems http://www.tadpolecomputer.com/ Phone: 951 325-2134 Fax: 951 325-2191
