I tried those settings but they generate more errors.
The "view" lines give "unknown token view" errors.
The "preserve_fields=" and "set index_format=" lines give "unknown option" 
errors.

What version of abook are you using? Also, where did you find the
documentation for these options? I can't find mention of them anywhere.



There was an error in the first line in the config file. This should be
instead:

view CONTACT = name, email, title, notes, nick

I use new most recent version abook-0.6.0pre2. I guess you need this to
get the 2 options above included. The documentation for the options are
in the abookrc file above each option.

http://abook.sourceforge.net/devel/abook-0.6.0pre2.tar.gz

So that explains the differences. They added options in the development
version. I'll try it out when I get some time.

BTW after looking at the project website and the files in the
abook-0.6.0pre2.tar.gz tarball I have to wonder if abook is dead.  The
files all date from 2006. Doesn't look like there has been any
significant work since then.  The last news posted on the main project
page is from 2008.
