Magical Email Signature to Address Book (Mac) Contact Convertor?

June 17, 2010 3:57 PM

I am looking for a "Magical Email Signature to Address Book (Mac) Contact Convertor"? In a perfect world I would like to have a browser plugin that would allow me to select several lines of text (ie. the boilerplate signature at the end of someones email) and then would convert the information into a vCard or import it into Apple's Address Book program. Does this exist somewhere? I have looked with no luck.

Do you use Mail.app for your email? If so, hover over the signature until you see the contextual arrow, click on the arrow and choose "Create New Contact". It will give you a chance to double-check the info before it is added to Address Book.

What reeddavid said. Sometimes you may need to create the contact with one line of data in the sig, and then mouse over the next and "add to existing contact," but Mail.app generally does a good job of identifying likely contact-related data for you to pass-into Address Book.
