Ah yes, I just found that a few minutes ago ! :-)
But I was puzzled, because it seemed all the contacts were "read only"
so to speak ! I could not modify them !

Ahhhh, ok ok.... indeed, I could select all the stuff in my vCard
thing, and drag and drop everything in the "normal" address book, and
now all by magic, I CAN modify the contacts, they fields are not greyed
out anymore :-)
Thanks ! :o)

While I am at it, just one quick question: I can get the address
auto-completion working (ie just type the first 3 letters in the
address bar and it show all the available choices), is this normal or
am I doing something wrong ? When I want to e-mail some one, do I HAVE
to fire up the address book and search manually for the e-mail I need,
then double-click on it ?

Oh, and one last tiny question... how do you filter mailing lists ? In
evolution there is the "Mailing List" field available, but in Sylpheed
the nearest I could find was "News group", but it doesn't work.
As a "will do" solution, I use the "To or CC" field, but that's not
very elegant...
