You could easily create 26 sources, each with a filter like, sn=a*  It would
accomplish pretty much the same thing.

There isn't currently any way to do drop-down selects that I know of,  but you
can enable searching on attributes like "title" easily enough. It works for the
users here,  and we aren't talking about the cream of the human intellectual crop.

There is some talk about that today over on the kronolith list,  apparently
someone has a rudimentary Palm Desktop plugin quasi-working.  He said he'll
create a list for it, now we just wait till he does.  Then send him lots of
effluent praise and appreciation.

>those would be very very good to have!

Turba has certainly improved in the last couple releases, and once they get the
bugs smashed in pre-1.2 it will be just about the best address book out there. 
I'm certain the future holds only more good stuff.

>thanks and kep up the good work with horde...

Yes
