[turba] multiple email addresses for one contact

[Martin Fraser]

Has this issue been resolved for anyone?

I've also got an LDAP addressbook setup and find that if in another 
program I add multiple entries for email, or any other field, they 
simply return a comma separated list, which is not correct.

Why can't Turba show multiple entries as multiple entries rather than 
one incorrectly concatenated list. I guess this is not an issue if 
people have multiple nicknames, since a comma separated list here will 
be fine for viewing, but email should be separate clickable links.

Then we get to the issue of entering the data. I under stand this may be 
a problem with the SQL driver (how do you enter multiple email addresses 
into a single field) but it should allow it for LDAP backends.

This problem seems to have been posted to the list a few times with no 
resolution I could find.

Thanks for any views or info on this.
