Possible New Fields

This really wants formatting into a table so we can compare with where fields are mentioned in specs, links to bugs and things like that.

Please use Mailnews_Talk:Address_Book_Card_Fields for discussion on new fields - we can always move them over here later.

• Academic Titles (bug 256247)
• Birthday Fields (bug 13595)
• Categories (bug 262530)
• Image ? What do other apps do here?
• Screen Names - support MSN etc.
• More addresses - do we need more?
• Anniversary
• Spouse
• Certificate (X.509, GnuPG, etc.)

Layout

I don't see the layout as important at this stage, that will follow once we have the fields ready. However I'll leave this here for now as someone posted it. --Standard8 13:47, 7 Oct 2005 (PDT)

I have postet that here. It shall not represent the layout. I thus only wanted to reach this one should put many things into listing views to be more flexible and e.g. can indicate N e-mail addresses and not only 2 e-mail addresses per user. My bad English excuses. --Griffin
