*SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST. FORGOT TO ADJUST THE MAIL SUBJECT FOR PROPER DIGEST LISTING*: --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the header row of the .CSV file: "First Name","Last Name","Middle Name","Name","Nickname","E-mail Address","Home Street","Home City","Home Postal Code","Home State","Home Country/Region","Home Phone","Home Fax","Mobile Phone","Personal Web Page","Business Street","Business City","Business Postal Code","Business State","Business Country/Region","Business Phone","Business Fax","Pager","Company","Job Title","Department","Office Location","Notes" > Possibly modifying the values to have an X-EVOLUTION-FILE-AS attribute > would be helpful. VCARDS import well ... but there's usually one vcard file per contact and Evolution imports from a single file at a time. That's a lot of work for an address book of hundred people++. I suspect Evolution expects values/headers in a specific order. Details of Such specification or requirement will be of interest. Then I could create a python script to reorder the CSV values accordingly. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
