Made double clicking create a new card. Set the empty message.

2000-05-30  Christopher James Lahey  <clahey@helixcode.com>

	* gui/minicard/e-minicard-view.c: Made double clicking create a
	new card.  Set the empty message.

	* gui/minicard/e-minicard.c: Made sorting be case insensitive.

	* gui/minicard/e-reflow-sorted.c, e-reflow.c, e-reflow.h: Added a
	message for when the reflow is empty.

	* printing/e-contact-print.c, printing/medbook.ecps: Made the
	default printout be full page.  Made sorting case insensitive.
