Hi Lars,

Well, no other PIM will do this sort of thing without the mail-reader
running.  I don't think its onerous to expect gnus to be running at
the same time. 

Cheers,  Jody

PS, I *think* I've figured out how to merge vcard attachements with
BBDB.  Its not very robust yet, but thats just due to my inability to
understand LISP.  How *do* you guys do it?  Is there a good emacs Lisp
book around somewhere?  "Writing GNU Emacs Extensions" is a little too
terse for me.
