Funnily enough I installed the lbdb last week (how did I go so long without it, what a great bit of software!). If I'm to understand the tool fully I think you'll find that, yes, you are loosing the ability to do queries using those tools. However, that might well be what you want. For example, my lbdb installation only does lookups using the inmail and gpg modules (actually it also does lookups in my JPilot copy of my Palm address DB using a module I wrote, I've submitted to Roland for inclusion in lbdb). BTW, if there are any emacs using lbdb users out there I've written an emacs lbdb interface. It's on my web pages. -- Take a look in Hagbard's World: | mutt.octet.filter - autoview octet-streams http://www.hagbard.demon.co.uk/ | mutt.vcard.filter - autoview simple vcards http://www.acemake.com/hagbard/ | muttrc2html - muttrc -> HTML utility Free software, including........| muttrc.sl - Jed muttrc mode
