This is a quite easy to do when you use LDIF format. You should build a the filter which will act only if the sender is not present in address book. The filter exports message to the text file named, say "daily.ldif". The export template must be used to generate all LDIF fields on the base of received message. Here is a working example of such template: dn: cn=%OFromName,mail=%OFromAddr cn: OFromaName mail: OFromAddr modifyTimeStamp: %Date(yyyymmdd)T%Time="hhmmss"Z givenName: %OFromFName sn: %OFromLName comment: %Date xbatTemplateOptions: ----- xbatFavourite: objectclass: top objectclass: person The template must end with one empty line, because particular entries in LDIF file must be separated. Memo filed in Address Book is mapped as "comment" in LDIF data file. The daily generated LDIF file cab be easily imported to the address book. I used this method sometimes to update my address book with new addresses acquired from different sources. -- Best regards, Zygmunt Wereszczynski (Using The Bat! v3.5.25 on Windows 95 4.0 Build 1111 b) ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
