New description:

 This application has been last updated in 2003. It does not deal properly
 with UTF-8 characters and does not integrate easily into Mutt. There are
 several alternatives, the most recent being https://github.com/keith
 /contacts-cli, which checks all the boxes, although loses some
 functionality. Therefore it may be best to add a new port called
 "contacts-cli" for this, which cannot be installed at the same time as
 "contacts".

 Homebrew exchanged "contacts" for a newer fork (https://github.com/dhess),
 which is also unmaintained since 2014 but works with UTF-8 characters.
 Additionally, there is a "contacts-cli" formula for the aforementioned
 alternative.
