Maybe exporting information as vCards, or some other format, so it can be reused by email clients, e.g. Thunderbird? I see that it is possible to link into BBDB, which I've never used. But it would seem to me that org-mode could also organize contact information, perhaps even more usefully and richly, without needing to learn yet another package. Or is BBDB so wonderful that I should just use that instead? /Lindsay
