I want to delete all my address book entries after wrinting them to a text
file
I'm starting to get spam email via an acquaintance where some company has
gotten into his address book
I want to make sure the people in mine aren't affected downstream somehow...
any pointers on how to even start looking at the oe object?
thanks

It's not an OE object, it's the Windows address book. That knowledge and two
minutes of Google searching turned up this:

Well, like I said, knowing to use "windows address book" was key. (Actually,
I used "wab" since that's the extension.) Searching's great as long as
you're searching for the right thing!
