Import process
It seems that's not really handy to import data into Glist if it's not in the format it expects...
For example I want to import subscribers for a list with the Subscriber Name and of course Email address fields.
Now each record line is like that:

17,Lely,1,lely@test.com,[NO BLOB],1,import6234,999999

Part 2 is the name (Lely) and part four is the email.
Glist does not let me to choose which parts of this line to identify with the Subrscriber Name and Email address fields... So the import fails...
How can I import that?

A quick thought:

I've done this a number of times...
Bring the file into Excel or OpenOffice as a CDF (comma delimited format), edit/swap/delete col's as needed and export.
