Re: [Evolution] copy & paste address probs

["evo dormon com" <evo dormon com>]

Sorry to be a pain about this and I now sort of understand why the box 
goes modal, so I thought the work around might be to just copy and paste 
it from the email to the address bit of the contacts editor, but this 
then strips all the carriage returns.

How are other people getting snail mail address into contacts?

Cheers
Lee
