I don't know who else to turn to about this problem other than mutt users. I have been adding phone numbers, addresses, comments, etc to abook. Every so often when I start abook, everything is deleted but name and email address. Not one more item. Since this started, I've been keeping backups for when this happens, so everything isn't lost. I have looked at the good and bad (missing extra info), and everything looks fine. Format is fine, even checking the beginning and ending of file. I've also used "diff -y addressbook addressbook.backup and they are virtually the same for name and email. Just all the info about phone numbers, addresses, etc is missing on the bad file
I've used abook for quite some time but never seen this happen till I started adding the extra info. Anybody with understanding of abook is welcome to email me since this isn't directly related to mutt. TIA, b ber...@opensuse.us btw- using abook version=0.6.0pre2, Mutt 1.5.21 (2010-09-15), and Slackware 13.1
