KmailAddresstoYAM V1.0 Arexx Script

If your like me, you've been using Kmail on Linux on your AmigaOne.  That was
mostly true in my case since my A4000 had become unreliable, so I could no
longer use it for email.  So all my email for the last year is in Kmail under
linux, but I want an Amiga only system, but still want to reference my old
addressbook from Kmail in Linux.
 Enter this script.  :)  It takes the exported KMail address book file (which
is
a Comma Delimited file) and imports it into the YAM address book format.

This script is "AS-IS", but feel free to modify it as to suit your specific
needs.  If things aren't mapping where you like, by all means change it, the
script is straight forward enough.  It worked for me (I've imported my old
address book without an issue).

Please note that this creates a stand-alone address book file for YAM, which
satisfied my needs.  If you already have a YAM address book, you may wish to
"append" this rather than replacing the .addressbook file in your YAM
directory.

Example Procedure:
1. Export Addressbook in Kmail.
2. Move the file to your A1.
3. Run this script, which will produce a stand alone .addressbook file for YAM.
(ex. In a shell, goto where you have your addressbook.csv file and type "rx
KmailAddressToYam addressbook.csv")
4. Copy the newly created .addressbook file into the YAM directory (keep in
mind
this will overwrite your old addressbook.  See note above about appending if
you
wish to keep your old addresses).
5. Your done!  Verify everything looks right in YAM.  :)
