Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at
you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the
window?

Yes, you can. Select the entries you want to export, select "Export
selection" from the Import/Export menu entry. However, the only format
you can export to is VCF.

OK. I'd gote that, but being something of a pedant, I'd say that was
exporting a selection and not the group.

I /like/ being able to set my own preferences but you can't possible

I stand (mostly) corrected. I could get it to do a selection, incl a
multiple selection, but not a group.

You can't export a single contact (although you can copy it to LDIF
format, whatever that is).

If you have groups defined in your address book you can't export a
single group, you get the whole AB.

If you decide to export the whole AB you can spend ages fiddling with
the list of fields to export only to find when you've done it and
missed something to have to do it all again 'cos the dopy bit of kit
has thrown you last lot of settings away.

Other than Outlook Contacts what are other people using for
maintaining a /real/ contacts DB?
