Re: Can I query a KAddressBook?

[mimosinnet@xxxxxxxxx]

I am moving from kmail
to mutt, and I am having problems converting from kaddressbook to abook.
Basically, when a contact has many e-mail addresses, only one is passed
to abook. 

Meanwhile, I was wondering if it would be possible to query
kaddressbook.

I have found the following script in this web page: 
http://wahjava.wordpress.com/2007/05/28/kaddressbook-in-mutt/
and I think it would be rellevant to have it in the list (the link at
the original version is not available). I have tried
the script and it works all right. 

Cheers!
