Package: abook
Version: 0.5.6-3
Severity: wishlist
The following command
abook --convert --infile ~/.abook/addressbook --informat abook
--outfile mutt.aliases_test --outformat mutt
does only export the first (primary) email address of each contact.
All further (secondary) email addresses are simply ignored.
If you want to generate mutt.aliases from abook, you have to create
multiple entries for one person in abook - for every email address
one.
Also, contacts without email addresses at all, are exported. This
leads to entries in the aliases file that are useless.
The attached patch is an example solution for both "problems".
