Re: Address Book API - Person vs Company

  The last time this question came up the only answer seemed to be that
if you have a company name but no first/last, then it is a company. But
I've never noticed any different icon for records created that way.
  Maybe you (i.e. <email_removed>) could have a look at the vcard
data for those 'company' records and see if there is a field in there
that makes it show up with a non-person icon?
  It would be really nice if you could have 'company' vcards that you
could just reference or link to from a 'person' card, so you don't have
to enter (and maintain) the same information a dozen times for multiple
people who work for the same company. Or maybe you can and I just
missed it?
