It is. Here is the original Ubuntu bug that I filed back in 2007: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/93546 Thunderbird works in standard OOo & LibreOffice (linux 3.3.0 versions), however in OOo (and LO) there are still issues with using SeaMonkey address books, see: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=107809 Ubuntu LO 3.3.0 (Natty Alpha 11.04 - OOO330m19 Build6) is still missing the address books listed in 93546. LO 3.3.0 (standard .deb installed on Ubuntu 10.10) has the same issues as 107809 - I reckon that they used the same code as OOo 3.3.0. But an LO dev is aware of the issue & hopefully working on it. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
