Milan,
First, thanks for your patience. Got it on your other points. The
changing fonts are actually a bit of a frustration point for me as
well. I regularly email pictures as part of instructions, so use html,
and html emails seem somewhat unpredictable to me in terms of what they
are going to do with pastes and fonts. I've learned to "paste as text,"
but it's inherently an extra little pain to do when you are in a hurry
and occasionally forget to do it. Maybe there is an option in html mode
to paste as text as default? : ) hehe
I moved the file to the desktop, then migrated to the desktop in
terminal, then ran "sqlite3 ./contacts.db ”SELECT vcard FROM
folder_id”>contacts.ics" I got "Error: near "”SELECT": syntax
error". It does actually create a .ics file, but 0 bytes.
I reinstalled sqlite3 again, just to be sure, and reran the script
again. Same result. FYI.

Hi,your other mail indicates you run the command as root. Do not
do that,run it as a regular user.

I guess it fails to find the file, or it has bad privileges (though
youseem to be the root user), or it is anyhow corrupt. You can try:
$ cd
/root/media/me/Backup/EvolutionDataandFirefoxProfileBackup/addressbook/s
ystem/ $ sqlite3 ./contacts.db ”SELECT vcard FROM
folder_id”>contacts.ics

That contains all your contacts, thus a lot of private information. Ican
extract it and make it a .vcf file, sure (supposing the file is
notcorrupt), just compress it with some high ratio, to save
somebandwidth, and send it only to me.
By the way, Ctrl+L replies to the list, when the message is from
thelist, which is preferred by me (you use Reply to All). This list
alsoprefers plain text mails (your ever-changing fonts are kind of hard
toread), and as the last, but not least, the top posting is
consideredbad here as well. Do inline comments within the quoted parts
and deleteeverything unrelated, as I did above. Just saying, as a side
note. Bye, Milan
