Agreed that something like this should be done. There are a lot of "frindge" pieces of data like this that are not part of vCard but are used in various programs. Currently we only deal with the Evolution ones since everything has always revolved around Evo. As that changes I agree that we need to have a mapping scheme for these non-standard fields. > > Secondly, kdepim_plugin sends multiline data out with the newline encoded as > "\n" (two chars) because thats what KDE Addressbook gives me. > However the evolution plugin doesnt decode the newlines at all so they are > visible in the data.

It will probably get a bit more testing that way if you are ready for it.
