Basically I want BBDB to have a standard external format that many other programs can use. Nowadays keeping contacts in Emacs is secondary to keeping it in one's mobile phone. Although there are 3rd lib that does the export and import they lose information. For example, import a vcard may discard some of the information it contains as there is no corresponding BBDB field. Ron Ross's post is in the same spirit. Leo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
