I use it since a looong time already, and amassed 15000 or so contracts. It does what I want, it's text-based, so versioning is not a problem. I think it can do vcard export (though when I used vcards is a long time ago, I can't remember if that was smooth, I think it was with one of my first smart phone, and I wanted to quick fill up the phone book there with my ``emacs-managed'' contact data base.). One can add used defined fields (where one can ``match'' all contacts for some criterion, and send then ``bulk'' email. Org is also bbdb-aware, insofar one can do those links: instead of [[file:xxxx][yyy]] one can use [[bbdb:somecriterion]]. I don't know if it matches your needs, but I can't say bad things about that bbdb-thing. Martin
