This is a good question, and as citadel is used by probably as many in a corporate / more official environment as to home bbs style use, it would be good if whatever options we have can be overridden by the aide initially to keep with security models or best practice for "untrusted" users.

I can envision it even being where all the fields are numbered, and you can choose in comma separated list what to display... I can give more details if you like the idea.) Also, it would be good if there was a way to be able to import vcards to your personal contacts, or migrate contacts from the GAB to your personal list (so those of us with hundreds on our list do not need to find each person every time) I think that is a good start, let me know if you need more clarity on a matter.
