> Is there an address book for use with "Mail" utilities? TIA...

MultiMail.Panel works; I use Mail.Panel almost exclusively.
Here is a sketch; efficient but very different from MS and 
Linux.  I hope it makes sense.

My address book is just my personalized System.Tool.  Just 
an ASCII text, mostly in alphabetical order and containing 
a variety of information.  The topmost section isn't 
alphabetical.  That's where I keep current items analogous 
to PostIt notes.  The alphabetical section begins 
thus.
#0#1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8#9#
#A#B#C#Car#Cur#D#Desk#E#
#F#Fi#Fr#G#Go#H#Hex#Hy#I#J#Jou#K#L#lists.d#Lo#M#
#Max#Mis#N#Ne#O#Pat#PPP#Photo#Q#R#S#Sc#
#Sys#T#U#V#W#X#Y#Z# 

Further down the text is #H#.  Selecting the first #H# and 
MM on .Search yields a quick jump to the second #H#.  Likewise 
for the whole alphabet.  

Mail addresses appear thus.
bcc: john.doe at shaw.ca
SIP addresses as used by Twinkle.

A regular expression processor, RX or Gerard Meunier's Regul, is 
ideal for extracting a list from this text.  
Extract all bcc addresses: RX.Grep * "bcc:". 
Extract all SIP addresses: RX.Grep * "|sip:".
