Thanks, exactly. look for query_command in the mutt manual. nb. you can invoke just about any address book software from within mutt as long as these two can understand each other. few lines of /bin/sh would fix any problems of that kind, though. -- If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely ignore your message.

Re: mutt address book
Hi, I've been using abook for quite some time but I didn't realize it had any association with mutt. Are you saying that it can be invoked from within mutt (i.e. when I try and go to the address book - not through the regular execution of a programme)? Thanks, -lewiz.

It's a *horrible* question to ask. Hehe, no, sometimes this list gets mail from AOL users trying to cancel their account. THOSE are bad questions to ask ::) Mutt stores addresses in a simple flatfile. Aliases are really simple: alias nickname Stuff You Want It To Expand To ex: alias questions FreeBSD Questions <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> That being said, it *IS* different from the pine address book format. Luckily, you can convert between the two. Check out http://www.netmeister.org/apps/pine2mutt/index.html That program converts pine's .addressbook to mutt-style aliases.

However, there is an addressbook for mutt in the ports tree called 'abook' which works pretty well. It's not as featureful as the pine addressbook but it's pretty good.
