Yeah, shortly after posting I did the google and found
that page. Tried the script, it had some issues* but I
tinkered with it until I got it to work. But even
then, Firebird's import didn't seem to find anything
in the file. (After you load the file there's a pop-up
to link specific fields in the file to specific fields
in the Thunderbird format. But neither .vcf not .csv
seems to show up wih anything.) Since .csv *is* listed
as a text-type it understands, I wonder if this might
be a bug in the import abilities. I was hoping someone
else here uses Firebird and may have dealt with the
issue before.
* SImpleText doesn't like the "create new document"
stuff, so changed it to call TextEdit. And it craps
out on some of the addresses for no reason i can
discern, so I just commented that all out to produce
null addresses.
