Re: [Evolution-hackers] Setting up mailing list contact?

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Weird api ... why not just set a GList of EABDestinations or an
EABDestination itself (it can contain lists?) rather than a GList of xml
exports of EABDestinations? :)

(anyway thanks for the pointer jp, i fixed the pine importer)

oh, what about doing aliases, can you reference other addressbook
entries from mailing lists, or do you have to expand them and add them
as lists?

(e.g. one list references another by name)
