Hopefully there is some standard of a string escape character; often double
quotes ("). When one imports a CSV file, one would ignore any delimitaters
that appear between a set of string escape characters.
If this CSV file is not formatted with some kind of string escape, I feel you
pain, because I have no idea how this would be done.

...Subject: Importing a csv file
...
...Hi,
...
...I have a question regarding importing a csv file, that contains commas
...in some of the fields. As a result those lines are screwing the import
...process. Unfortunately I don't have any control over the content of
...the files. I am sure that other people had the some issue an I was
...wondering how they resolved it.
...
...Thanks
...Vic
