[dev] Address Book Import again.

[Michael Cochrane]

Yep, they were unicode... any conventions on how unicode characters should
be handled with Turba? at the moment i an changing them to html special
characters (&#xxxx; where xxxx is the character code in decimal) and they
are displaying fine in turba but this messes up searches.

I currently have an email field which is all the email addresses comma
separated which means no data is lost, this is stored in the "Email" field,
there is also a "Default Email" field so the user can map this to email if
they wish.

Also in turrba when you click on an email address it always composes in a
new window, and the popup code has issues when the email address field has a
comma in it.

I currently have 37 fields importing fine. The only known missing ones are
birthdate and anniversary.

http://www.graftonhall.co.nz/temp/wabstrip.php will display the wab file in
a table with all values shown. Source is also at that address.

I'd vote for the first one, or just tossing them all into the one contact's
field...

Sounds like unicode.
