One thought that occurs to me: They might send a "last gasp" message from AOL to everyone in their address book, asking them to send them a message at their new address on the ISP.
Then, using Entourage (or even Outlook Express, which is still free and still works on Classic), they could add the new users to their address book as the messages come in. In Entourage, just typing Cmd-= when an incoming message is selected will add the sender to the address book. Of course, it won't copy all the postal address or other info, just the name and e-mail address. If correspondents know how to send a vcard, have them do that. Double-click a VCF file and it automatically creates a new contact in Entourage, with all the information intact. Just the other day on this list, I sent out a script that will create a contact based on name, address and e-mail info typed into a message, e.g. Allen Watson 123 Main Street Anywhere, OH 12345 [EMAIL PROTECTED] So if you get people to send you their info in that format, you'd at least have the basic info you could capture, using my script.
