Yeah, it's intended to be the csv export from Outlook, I guess some context
help should be added.

Hm, it always worked here. We use the fgetcsv() funtion to read the data, so
it might be that there are different versions are available with different
php versions or platforms. Perhaps I'll take a look at the CSV class from
PEAR if it works better.

This has been fixed already, update your cvs checkout.

The import routines aren't that slick. It's an import feature, not a
synchronization feature.
