I wrote some code that imports vCards into your bbdb. It requires vcard.el by Noah Friedman [1]. The implementation is based on Christopher Smiths very simple version of `bbdb-vcard-snarf-buffer' [2].
I use this importer along with Jim Hourihan's exporter [3] to keep Apple's Address Book and BBDB in sync. Note that my importer currently does not handle street addresses and phone numbers (since I use BBDB to mail with gnus, I pretty much just need names and emails in there). Basic support for addresses and phones exists in the code, but some things need to be sorted out to support this in an acceptable way (see the todo list in the code). Usage: To import all vCards that are in the file ~/vCards.vcf do M-x bbdb-vcard-import RET ~/vCards.vcf RET The code is attached and available for download: http://www-pu.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/users/crestani/downloads/bbdb-vcard-import.el I developed and tested the code with XEmacs 21.5 and BBDB 2.35. Comments and suggestions welcome!
