Thanks for that. I am trying to make use of it, but I have a hard time
because Firefox (I left Konqueror last year) does not handle the mailto
protocol.

Why do you not just pass all the data from KAddressbook to Thunderbird. You
can export from KAddressbook as CSV and then import everything into
Thunderbird, which has a very flexible set of import/export utilities.
Thunderbird also allows you to move in more direction because it supports a
larger range of formats.
