I've just looked for this as well. Apparently the best one can do is to build a small C/C++ program against the Mork/MAB code in the Mozilla tree, building a simple list like the ldif format available in the past, then use scripts against it for conversion to Palm and other formats. Dawn does not help; its a windows world program designed for solutions in that space primarily; the Linux version is old and out of date. Owen
