I've never seen an OE 5 address book limit quoted anywhere, and I think it's
usually taken as read that limiting factors concerning address books usually
centre around what you can send through your ISP's SMTP server rather than
what your client application can support.

FWIW, I'd heard of people using address books with several hundred contacts
contained within, so I'd guess you'd be OK. It might be an idea to ask your
ISP what their sending limit is, most ISPs should be able to give you a
reasonable answer on this question. Just make sure they don't mistakenly
earmark you as a potential spammer! :-P

If you do need to reply directly to me, just remove the capitalised letters

I suggest that you do not post to these newsgroups using your real e-mail
address!  See Q048 on http://machelp.webhop.net/ for more details on
protecting yourself from newsgroup spam.
