;;; 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

+;; 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,
