In theory you should be able to pass the EContact's URI as a command-line option to Evolution to invoke the editor, but I'm not certain if this works at the moment. Looking at the code that handles the URI, it seems to expect a contact:// scheme and "source-uid" and "contact-uid" parameters, but I don't have an example handy. Hopefully the EContact's URI gives you something close to that form. You'll have to play around with it. Matthew Barnes
