Re: Re: Can Pine or Alpine merge address lists?

Jeepers, there's nothing to making an addressbook if you know how.
Thanks for the refresher below.


I had been fiddling with this a while back.  I've had lists over the
years (been using Pine since about '95) and then forget.

With the current technology, I'd like to be able to grab a csv file off of
Gmail and put it in Alpine for safekeeping as backup.  Gamilallows me to
hand off the list to other group members regardless of OS.

Does the file list need any manipulation to run as an addressbook in
Alpine?
