Can you help me with the exact syntax? As a test, I tried:
abook --convert --informat mutt --infile /home/kline/.mutt/muttrc --outformat abook --outfile abook
An emtpy file ~/.abook/addressbook.new was created. ((I still
stand by what I'd said for years, that a few examples are worth
10K words.))
Re a sed line to get this stuff into ~/.evolution/*, maybe. This
may be where another very simple perl script would serve btter.
Further clues very welcome.
