Yeah, I'll check it out. Thanks.

True, but I like the idea of keeping everything together. I mean 
is there any reason why email addresses should be treated any 
differently than other contact information? There are certain 
types of email addresses, such as mailing lists, that make sense 
to be treated differently.

However, as with most of the changes I have made since coming to 
Linux, it takes me time to change my thought processes. Maybe 
after thinking about it I'll realize that 'of course you don't 
need to store email addresses with the other contact 
information'. But until then, I'll probably try out abook.
