It's a very straightforward rexx script (or whatever) to set-up
a PMMail address book, there are examples out there.

The file is just a series of CR LF terminated lines of 0xDE 
delimited fields. Empty fields contain a single 0xE1 char.

You can edit it with most text editors! (One of the many things 
I like about the simple approach used in PMMail, like messages 
stored in individual files - it makes 3rd party tools and rexx 
exits/filters etc very easy).

(Of course if PMMail's address book format changes, then these 
3rd party scripts and utils will also be broken, not just 
PMINews integration ;-)

If you search for and download "ldaptools.zip" (e.g. from hobbes
for OS/2 users), you can use these to add/modify query ldap 
servers and/or create PMMail's address books from a script etc.
