Thank you, Russell, for the BBDB rant (which I quite agree with) and for giving your current solution based on Org items with properties. I'm dipping my toes into Org and, for contact data, BBDB seemed the natural way to go; I'm glad I looked around to find alternatives before dumping too much data into BBDB. Everyone's responses in this thread have saved me a *lot* of time and effort. -- \ “Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?” “I think so, | `\ Brain, but if they called them ‘Sad Meals’, kids wouldn't buy | _o__) them!” —_Pinky and The Brain_ | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
