Subject: Incorporating CSO into Pine addressbooks

Hi,

We would like to add the following functionality to the Pine3.91 client:

We currently use a custon written CSO nameserver client, and would like 
to incorporate it into the addressbook routines to do the following: 

In addition to allowing the user to Select an email address from the 
addressbook and insert this into the To: field when composing, we'd like 
to be able to extract similar information from  a CSO query using the 
above-mentioned CSO client. The user would optionally be able to insert 
this information into the addressbook.

I've had a look at the addressbook code and, although it's not 
impossible, will require a fair bit of coding. I was fortunate enough to 
be told by our Pine expert that I should target this for Pine3.91 
(excellent release, incidently!), rather than our current Pine3.89 - the 
addressbook code is substantially re-written in 3.91 :)

Questions:

1. Anyone done this before
2. Are there any API hooks planned for Pine to allow this sort of thing?

We'd hate to re-invent the wheel or make this more difficult than it 
should be.

Any hints appreciated,

Scotty

Some form of API hook or directory service support is planned, but we have
not really decided which of several possible approaches to take with it yet.
