Just thought I'd let you know that I reverted back to the released 0.5.8
and now adding contacts via right-clicking on an e-mail address works
again.  So the current CVS ORBit is either evil or its behavior has
changed.

Based on a Changelog that I generated from rcs2log, I'd guess that the
patches from Mark McLoughlin that Elliott committed on 6/15/01 are
probably what did it.  I'm sure that this deserves a bug report for
ORBit, but I'm not sure what exactly to say in it.  Would it be possible
for you to submit one?

Incidentally, when I tried adding my contact, it thought it was a
duplicate even though the only thing that matched was the first name.  I
reported this a few weeks ago, but it looks like it hasn't been fixed
yet.  I tried visiting bugzilla to see if I had submitted a bug report
for it, but unfortunately it's not available right now.
