Milo: Is there a way to export just one folder from WLM?

I have my contacts broken into subfolders. I'd like to export one of those
subfolders into a .csv file, but clicking on the subfolder and then choosing
File/Export doesn't turn out to be the answer. I still get my entire
contacts folder in the CSV file.

Thank you!

Contacts in WLM and the web UI(for Live ID accounts) can be 'broken' into Categories.
- A category holds a copy of the contact. (ie. access to each individual contact remains an option)

The WLM or the web UI export contacts to *.csv does not provide a method to export contacts as a category.
The only work around with a csv file is to use a different program to edit/save the csv file (e.g. Excel)

CSV export is an all-or-nothing proposition, ignoring subfolders
and categories. About all you can do is export the whole thing,
then edit the file in Excel or a text editor like Notepad.
