most email programs will allow export to a comma delimited file as its
a kind of standard import format for databases.
If an email program doesnt allow a suitable export format, another
program may support a suitable import program and then export to CDF.
Personally though I thing import of address books from Outlook and
outlook express should be in the bat as most users of those programs
if switching to the bat likely havent got a clue how to convert
them... Added that I use the shareware version of the bat as a kind of
recovery tool in messed up windows systems to get data out of outlook
/ outlook express so it would be handy at that stage to be able to
nick their addressbook as well as it means one can say, try this
emailer, all ready to go...
