Fix committed to the Data package. Let me know if the Pine stuff should be split out to it's own class.

How about a separate Pine driver extending the existing tsv driver, only in Turba for BC reasons, and because it doesn't make sense anywhere else?

This is a very special Pine thing and not really how I would expect a "regular" tab separated file to work. It could also break other tsv imports that have the first field empty. Since the user tells us the file is in Pine format, and not regular TSV, can we somehow unwrap the lines? This would also help progress on bug 4241.

The attached pine address book is imported as "Caroline Johnson" <@localhost>. The problem is that line-continuations in the address book aren't handled. See http://www.washington.edu/pine/tech-notes/low-level.html#addrbook 'A "line" may be made up of multiple actual lines in the file by using continuation lines, which are lines beginning with SPACE characters. The line breaks may be after TABs or in between addresses in a distribution list.'
