[Users] Problem with CM address Book

Hi Fellow Clawsers;
In Claws-Mail 3.8.0 under openSuSE 12.2-M1 (beta version), my address book had
a problem and it seemed as though I had lost all the addresses.  Upon further
inspection, The address book showed no entries so I went back through my
folders and rebuilt an address book although it doesn't contain the entire list.

In the ./claws-mail/addrbook I see several versions of address book entries
with a .xml suffix.  Some of these should contain a valid address book.  The
problem, how do I revert to one of these older versions?  I found menu items
for importing various formats but not .xml format.  Should I modify (after
saving) the addrbook-index to show one of the earlier versions?  I don't want
to do something that would cause even greater problems.

Thanks, Tom
