I have the following question to ask from the wiser and the more experienced users/developers: Is there an obvious or easy way to include contact information of people in the orgmode plain file notes? I am aware of emacs-related packages, such as BBDB and AddressBook (vCard based address book, still under development), but it seems these are built around a separate database of contacts with possibly their own defined formats. It would be appealing to include people's basic information in the vCard style/spirit, but still have no separate databases and/or custom formats. You can also import/export contact information from/to your mobile phones and e-mail clients as vCards. Brief examples can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard with pointers to the real documentation (rfc2425 and rfc2426). I'm thankful for any hints or suggestions on the topic. M-x wish-you-all-the-best Jaakko -- Jaakko Hollm=E9n, http://users.ics.tkk.fi/jhollmen/
