I still use the LaTeX class scrlttr2 for my letters. I use adress files bundled with that class. Adresses are macros and selected by a string-key.
I know the \adrentry for scrlltr and could add this function but not at the moment and only as letter extension.
Maybe it would be nice, if there could be a interface to such a key and a lua-function (which defaults to return) taking this key as argument. So everybody can write his own adress-import function.
You should also take a look into Hans correspondence [1] manual, I prefer to make something based on a xml database on it is possible to write serial letters as told in the manual bot not to use some information for just one letter.
I will add it on my todo list.
The idea was NOT to use THIS or THAT adress format. Instead implementing something like a generic import interface. Gruß, Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang, I took a look into the default definition for \adrentry and it simple to add it to the module, a interface for different formats would be indeed the optimum but I should first finish the interface. Wolfgang
