David Harris:1 - 4 are all already well taken care of in the new format - and much more. I really don't think you're going to be disappointed. 
(5) is a good idea I hadn't thought of, but which should be easy.
Cheers!

Hi David.
(5) sounds definitely like a good idea, as well as the other points brought forward by GinHead.
I have another question though: will the address book be compatible with other existing address book formats. I think that we should be able to easily import
and export data in the addressbook without resorting to a 3rd party. I need to be able to move this data between Pegasus and Kmail on my Linux system as well as wemail account. I already easily do it between Kmail, Gmail and Yahoo! Mail but right now the Pegasus address book is empty as it's too cumbersome to imprt address.
Cheers!
