This may be a stretch, in fact I am quite sure it is. I am surprized that I
have never seen a reference to EDB (Emacs Data Base) on the list, or
elsewhere, with reference to org-mode. I had an elaborate scheme at one
time to keep my addresses in EDB, and output templates to set up a latex
letter, with multiple recipients if so desired, and of course multiple
letters.
I'm not sure how, but it occurs to me that org mode and EDB have some common
threads of this kind. I have tried to implement an address book/contact
system using properties, but it was very clumsy, at least in the way I did
it.
Has anyone done ANYTHING interesting using EDB with org-mode?
