Smashing. I selected a few hundred contacts and then told evolution to
send them as vcards, which it did in one big file. I get a fixed length

specifying number of columns as the number of lined entries, and viola,
a spreadsheet.

Mozilla won't do, and I wasn't willing to put Netscape on just for
this...
