Look at abook for a simple addressbook written for mutt. Its manpage says that it can use the --convert option to import different formats, including csv files. It's not graphical, flash, fancy, and doesn't use the mouse, but it works - sort of like mutt, in that respect :-) Also, take a look at the lbdb package - it might be of interest to you. I don't use it personally (yet), but have heard good things about it from others on this list. Hope this helps, -- jc -- It may stop, it may not.
