I am the upstream maintainer of the export code. I have no plans to change this behaviour as I do not want to introduce CHARSET as it is explicitly excluded from vCard 3.0.
However, I would welcome additional information on how other software handles this, both from the export and the import side. Note that in my import code I use an empirical approach. I first attempt to import the file as UTF-8. If that fails with a character format error, I retry the import using the user's current locale. If that also fails, I try using ISO-8859-15. However, for export I always use UTF-8. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
