Yes indeed. I should have said "Filling blanks and trimming up." [:)]

The recently used list is simply a text listing of addresses.  It does not contain the data needed to populate the fields of an address book record.  Also, it will likely contain invalid entries, unless you've never sent to an invalid address.

Its file is a plain text file so could be used for reference in creating an address book but if you do this keep in mind the possibility of invalid entries.  Its filename is WINPMFUA.PM located in the home mailbox directory.

Thanks Brian - that's all the info I need.

For reference, I found the file in \MAIL\NET

IIRC Recently-used list is on winpmfua.pm file. It contains only the e-mail address, either johndoe@mail.com or "John Doe" <johndoe@mail.com> or other valid form. You could save this file to a text file named say addresses.csv and open it in a plain text editor. Each line shall contain only a single address. Now you have to convert it in a tab delimited text file. If you're not familiar with regex try opening it with Excel or LibreOffice Calc. The .csv extension will help. Choose no-separator so it will import as a 1-column spreadsheet.

After that, insert a blank column before that of the addresses. This new column corresponds to the Alias. You may edit it on the spreadsheet or leave it blank. Once imported by Pmail it will appear as Unknown.

Now, export (Save As) the spreadsheet as a tab (tab, not comma, and no quotes) delimited text file and import it to a Pmail addressbook. This shall do.

Thank you Euler.

YW. Remember to "fill the blanks" after importing data. Pmail works better with the alias field filled.[;)]

Also remember the recent list will contain not only "good" addresses but other forms like these
