Post #226,248 by jake123 9/23/05 9:55:03 PM Reply	Question about Address Book and Thunderbird I've downloaded Thunderbird for MacOSX for my Mom. I'd like to import the address book in Address Book into Thunderbird, but the import routine doesn't seem to be able to understand the VCard(s) that Address Book puts out. If anyone has any experience in the area, I'd appreciate hearing about it! TIA! --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone had this exact problem and apparently wrote an Applescript to do the job. Another excellent reason to have [link\|http://www.macosxhints.com/\|http://www.macosxhints.com] bookmarked, if you don't already. Let us know if it works.

Site is now bookmarked; I'm going to wade through it bit by bit between schoolwork. It's a bit hard as that one's my Mom's full time machine; I'm still on PC (and will be for a while yet; Warp is still a great system even if I really can't use it for almost any of my schoolwork this year). --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

They hold that the accumulation of money is a great evil and a burden to the soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the risk to innocent people. -- (Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad)
