A person was listed twice, same phone number with slightly       different names. I said ok to merge, and it worked ok. It also asked       about a different person; this one I said ok but I was not paying       attention and forgot the name, so could not verify afterwards.              I don't see how to manually merge two contacts, but I have done it       somehow in the past.              --       Cheers, Carlos.       ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
