Hello Jim,

The following is true of my Address book.

#  Address book for messenger

stored in current.....

  ADFS::Panto.$.NEWSDIRS.maindir.!NewsDir.UserHome.iyojohn.AddrBook01

The current versions of MessPro do not have any obvious facility to
export an address list. Internally the addresses are stored as a TAB
separated list, with no header information. The current layout is

  NameTABAddressTABTAB0TAB0TABTABTAB0

If there is an Alias, that appears between the second and third TAB.
First Zero changes to 2 if address is PGP enabled.
Second Zero doesn't appear to ever change.
Third Zero changes to 5-digit number if address is colour coded.
If address is within folders, then the folder path appears before
the final TAB.
