Do you really want them as an alias file? You might want to look into lbdb. I, personally, reserve my aliases file for addresses I'm going to type a lot, so I can just type 'boss' if I'm emailing my boss, or whatever. For my company address book integration (on my work machine) and my personal address book, I'm going to be using lbdb along with $query_command to provide access to a more complete address book. If you do go the route your email describes, might I recommend that you keep your $alias_file separate from this generated one so you don't clobber your changes when the script runs. Otherwise, great job! You should put this on github or similar so people searching for something like this later will be able to find it easily! -Jeremy
