Please try the latest code from CVS. The generated vCard data was incorrect, but should cohere to standards better now.

attached data.txt. It would seem a lot of characters are escaped with \ in this file, however I only have an issue with the work address, in Turba this address shows as; Company Unit 2\, 123 St Freds Tce Unit 2\, Golden Hills, Qld 4009

I've got synching working from Outlook 2003 via Funambol 6.5.8 to Horde (3.2.1) with Turba (2.2.1) , works great apart from; If I have a comma in an address in Outlook (e.g. 'Unit 2, 255 Smith Rd') this turns up in Turba with an extra \ like so; 'Unit 2\, 255 Smith Rd', any hints on how to avoid this little hiccup or is it a simple import bug? Of interest, the '\' character is introduced as the address is converted from the input from Funambol (no \) and a VCARD is created with a '\'. This is based on my review of the data.txt file in /tmp/sync.
