inwa returns; i find useful script

My ISP inwa.net was back up this morning when I tried it from work. So ‘nevermind’ my previous post, my normal email account is working again and I think I’ll keep it as my main point of contact for now.

However, the first thing I did after checking my email (I use pine) was to make a local copy of my addressbook. A quick google led me to a convenient, time-saving script to reformat my pine addressbook into a CSV file importable by gmail. This little gem saved me mucho time, so many thanks to Cengiz Gunay for writing his perl script pineaddrbook2csv and posting it on the internet.

If and when inwa goes down again, next time I won’t lose all those contacts!
