Title:  How do I add to or edit my addressbook in WebPine?

Question:
I need to add some addresses to my addressbook and also delete
and change some of the entries there.  How do I do that?

Answer:

You can add addresses in one of two ways: using the [Take] button to
extract addresses in the header or body of the current email message
you are reading, or manually by typing addresses in a text field in
your addressbook.

How to Use the [Take] Button:
-----------------------------

You use the [Take] button as follows:

(a) While reading a message, click on the [Take] button that appears near
    the right edge in the controls above the message.  That takes you to a
    screen named "Take Address" that lists all of the email addresses that
    appear in the header or body of the message, where each address is
    prefixed with a checkbox.

(b) Click the checkbox for those addresses that you wish to save

(c) Then click [Take Address] and follow subsequent instructions that let
    you create a new addressbook list or append addresses to an existing
    addressbook list


How to Manually Edit Your Addressbook:
--------------------------------------

You can add, modify, or remove addresses manually as follows:

(a) Click on the [Address Book] link in the left green column
(b) Scroll down until you find the list you wish to augment or edit
(c) Click on the nickname of the list (the leftmost part of the list)
(d) In the window that opens up you will see a number of text fields
    one of which looks like this:
          Addresses: [xxx@xxx.xxx, xxx@xxx.xxx, ... ]
    Use the mouse to scroll horizontally until you locate an address
    that you wish to alter, delete, or insert before or after.  Type
    or cut and paste information into the list, making sure that all
    entries are separated by a comma
(e) Then click [Save Entry] to save the changes and exit the addressbook
