Xavier,
I have no idea what a BBDB file is but I do use org-mode to manage my contacts.
Each contact is a heading then I keep information with one data field
per line identified with a letter. This is useful for generating compact printouts
for my planner folder.
A: Address
H: Home phone number
W: Word Phone number
B: Birthdate
M: Mobile (cell) Phone number
E: Email address (not used much since email addresses live inside
my Thunderbird or Gmail account.
F: Fax
For example:
** John Smith
A: 200 Pacific Highway, North Sydney, NSW 2070
H: 9433 7645
W:908 75431
B:10-May-1960
E:
jsmith@somewhere.com
Notes about the contact go here
I used to structure the contacts under major headings of Family,
Friends, School, Work related, Financial, Restaurants, but I am going
to rework this using org-mode tags for various categories. A useful tag
would be for Christmas card lists/
