Thanks Mikel,

I've been thinking of attacking the xul.  As I said I think having a
button in the mailclient would be a much more attractive solution than
suggesting they cut and paste into a web-app.

I am already planning another migration of the FileMakerPro contacts
database which was out of sync with the Mozilla addressbook.  My plan
was to put the address book into ldap (which didn't work like I
expected) and then evaluate whether SQL or ldap was a better
replacement.  I already got the FilemakerPro stuff into a format similar
to the Mozilla AddressBook, but the client issues with ldap are
worrisome.

I am certainly interested in any XUL work in the contacts database area.
For lack of time, I have not yet gone on an extensive search through the
mozilla extensions.
