is there any way of turning muttrc list into an evolution or other mail alias database?

	Can you help me with the exact syntax?  As a test, I tried:
 abook --convert --informat mutt  --infile /home/kline/.mutt/muttrc --outformat abook --outfile abook

	An emtpy file ~/.abook/addressbook.new was created.  ((I still 
	stand by what I'd said for years, that a few examples are worth
	10K words.))

	Re a sed line to get this stuff into ~/.evolution/*, maybe.  This
	may be where another very simple perl script would serve btter.
	Further clues very welcome.
