[Trisquel-users] harvesting emaill addresses from my archives

2015-01-15 Thread Lara Tris
I have just located in some old backups some old old mail archives. Browsing through them would be a pain in the rear. So I have a need for some Icedove extension that could parse the newly added folders and fill up an addressbook with what it finds. Do you know anything that can do the job?

When searching for packages in Synaptic there's the option to search in package descriptions, which usually does what you want. There's the same functionality in http://packages.trisquel.info/ (It's linked from the navigation bar at the right). When you do this. you're using the information
