I am writing an Python-script that converts my old jPilot contact information to Org-mode. I chose Org-contacts[1] because it seems to me that this will be a widely used format. In my old format, the address field is a multi-line field similar to: ,----[ example ] | Street Name 42 | 0815 City | Country `---- I am using property values for EMAIL, HOMEPHONE, WORKPHONE, PHONE, MOBILE, FAX, TITLE, and COMPANY. Is there a good way of adding the (multi line) address to the PROPERTY drawer or should I put the address in the notes right below the drawers? PS: Empty properties are not mentioned in the Org-mode manual. Do they cause any trouble? (I was thinking of leaving empty properties for each entry so that I can easily add e.g. a FAX number later on ...) 1. http://julien.danjou.info/org-contacts.html -- Karl Voit
