[Addressbook-devel] importing contacts from bbdb

[joakim]

get bbdb-vcard-export, from emacswiki for example.

  m-x bbdb-vcard-export RET   /tmp/addressbook RET

a bunch of vcard files will be exported, 689 in my case.

Then I did a little defun like this:

(defun addrbook-dired-import-vcards ()
  (interactive)
  (mapc (lambda (filename)
          (addrbook-import-vcard  filename))
        (dired-get-marked-files)))


Mark the vcards you want to import in dired, and do m-x
addrbook-dired-import-vcards.

This took several minutes on my 3yo machine.

m-x addressbook now shows the addressbook fine.

buglet/annoyance: c-p and c-n doesnt behave the same as p or n or arrow keys
in the summary mode.
