This is abook.
Abook is a text-based addressbook program designed to use with mutt mail client.
Two comments: You need to have either a DEPEND or RDEPEND for mutt, since that
is what it is for (does it need mutt to compile against, or just to run?)(and
yes, you need the depend even if you say in the description it is for mutt -
some people, such as myself, tend to emerge the add on package, knowing that it
will grab the main program as well, such as blackbox to get X). The bigger issue
though is that the tarball that is grabbed off of sourceforge is corrupted and
can't be uncompressed. I can either pursue this further, or you can give it a
shot and reattach/post. Just let me know, I'm easy!

Attaching dialog for posterity. I had problems with the tarball, even when
downloaded directly from the source (without using portage), will investigate
this week.
Sascha,
I'll play with it and get it working. I tried downloading the
tarball directly outside of the ebuild and couldn't open it. Will
investigate further and get it working and added. Probably take me a day
or so. I'll post this and your message on bugzilla so that we have a
record for gentoo folks. Thanks!

Sascha,
I finished testing this and successfully installed it on i686, gcc 2.95.3.
I've added it to portage under net-mail/abook, masked until further testing
occurs (or it finds a better home - not sure about net-mail as a home for it).
Mike
Moved abook to app-misc since it didn't really fit with net-mail. Unmasked it
after a week.
