I understood that mutt didn't need any patches to talk to abook - it's just a setting in the muttrc, and away you go - or is the "it" in "directly query it" your palm, and not abook? lbdb does look nice, tho, for when I actually get my ldap server up and running :-) Anyone got any nice pointers to locally serving ldap on a small scale? Went to the bookshop the other day, and there were maybe 15 published books from the last 5 years to date with "ldap" in the title! None by O'Reilly, either :-( cheers, -- jc -- It may stop, it may not. And stop calling me "dj". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
