Allow client to download mailling list as vcard or something

Post by Luke »

I am writing a simple mailing list app for a client of mine and I'd like for them to simply access a certain url and be able to download and easily import the contacts into their outlook or whatever else they want to import it into. Is it possible to create one big vcard file w/multiple addresses on it? What's the best way to do this?

Oddly I am doing much the same...

I would use CSV as it's the defacto-standard and every application is likely to support it...
