CONV_ALIAS(1) CONV_ALIAS(1)
conv_alias - convert MediaMail aliases to Netscape Address Book
/var/netscape/communicator/conv_alias
conv_alias reads $HOME/.zmailrc for MediaMail aliases and adds any new
aliases to user's Netscape Address Book. If the alias already exists in
the Address Book as a user or list, the alias will not be added and a
message will be printed.
conv_alias does not alter $HOME/.zmailrc. It updates
$HOME/.netscape/address-book.html, or creates it if it doesn't exist. A
backup copy of the Address Book(s) is taken before any modifications are
done ($HOME/address-book.html.original or $HOME/address-book.html.nn, and
$HOME/abook.nab.nn).
If you previously ran Communicator 4.x, you will have to import the
address-book.html file manually before you will see the MediaMail aliases
in your Address Book. To import, select Communicator -> Address Book.
In the Address Book, select File -> Import. In the Import address book
File Finder dialog, select $HOME/.netscape/address-book.html.
Since Netscape Address Book entries are typically more descriptive than
MediaMail aliases, after conv_alias is run, it is recommended that the
user go into the Address Book and at minimum, update the "Name" field.
