the application "abook" (thanks Andre), was exactly what I was looking
for. It works seamlessly with mutt and vim, and I had it working in a
matter of minutes. I also produced a script in under an hour that
queried my contacts database and created a .abook.addressbook file.
This is an awesome program, simple and powerful querying capabilites. It
can be found at:
abook.sourceforge.net
Thanks!
