There's no need to switch to tab delimited. Just quote each field
using double-quotes. If you need a double-quote character, use two
double-quotes. e.g.:
"Column 1", "Field, with comma", "Field ""with quotes""", "Column 4"

Thanks, the other software generating the csv can only encapsulte the
field whole in quotes, so would not double double quote. It was easier
to just use the tab as delimiter.
