;;; Usage:

-;; Backup or rename ~/.bbdb while testing that the import works correctly

-;; Simply call `bbdb3-csv-import-buffer' or `bbdb3-csv-import-file'. Interactively

;; Thunderbird csv data works out of the box. Otherwise you will need to create
;; a mapping table to suit your data and assign it to
-;; bbdb3-csv-import-mapping-table. Please send any new mapping tables upstream so
-;; I can add it to this file for other's benefit. Ian Kelling is willing to help

+;; Tips for testing: bbdb doesn't work if you delete the bbdb database file in
+;; the middle of an emacs session. If you want to empty the current bbdb database,
+;; do M-x bbdb then .* then C-u * d on the beginning of a record.
