When using m_evolution, I get no results to any query. I have investigated and found that m_evolution expects FN (full name) entries to come before EMAIL entries; however, evolution does not currently export them in this order, so no entries are ever emitted. A patch is attached to fix this. It collects all the information, and then outputs it at the end of each vCard. It also corrects a few spelling errors. ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction
