Hmmm, but it is interesting.  I've never looked at how Evo manages lists
before... while I have no idea how it works on the client it certainly
looks like it would be pretty easy to implement 'dynamic' lists on the
server side.

Evo puts a vCard like -

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
EMAIL;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-CONTACT-UID="http://127.0.0.1:8080/dav/Favorites/Contacts/162750.vcf";X-EVOLUTION-DEST-EMAIL-NUM=1;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-HTML-MAIL=FALSE:"Tol\,
 Robert" <bob...@example.com>
EMAIL;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-CONTACT-UID="http://127.0.0.1:8080/dav/Favorites/Contacts/91840.vcf";X-EVOLUTION-DEST-EMAIL-NUM=0;X-EVOLUTION-DEST-HTML-MAIL=FALSE:"Abbott\,
 Glenn" <gl...@example.com>
X-EVOLUTION-LIST-SHOW_ADDRESSES:FALSE
X-EVOLUTION-LIST:TRUE
N:;yoyuoyo;;;
FN:yoyuoyo
X-EVOLUTION-FILE-AS:yoyuoyo
END:VCARD

Sounds like a fun weekend project [adding Evolution list support to
OpenGroupware Coils].

From the X-EVOLUTION-DEST-CONTACT-UID it at least appears there is some
intent to relate entries back to their sources (although wouldn't a
source name be better / more-durable than a URL?).
