Re: [Ilohamail-devel] contacts id not real id?

[Ryo C. <ry...@il...>]

If you can come up with a way to make ID's unique and send me a patch,
I'll incorporate it into the official source tree.  I suggest you
modify include/data_manager.FS.inc (adding a UID field would be
redundant with a DB backend since the IDs are already unique  -it's
better to just make IDs unique with a FS backend).
