utf-8 encoding in vcf files can't be read with outlook 2007

**Lior** · August 23rd 07, 11:30 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

Hi,

My new cell phone (Nokia E65) is able to create a vCard for each contact.
for example:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N;CHARSET=UTF-8:×œ×™××•×¨;×œ×™××•×¨
TEL;CELL:+972 52-3333333
TEL;VOICE;HOME:+972 4-6555555
TEL;VOICE;WORK:+972 3-6262626

ADR;HOME;CHARSET=UTF-8:;;×ž×©×” ×ž×©×” 11×ª"×“ 0;×—×™×¤×”;;22233;Israel
END:VCARD

the file itself is coded as utf-8 as well.

when trying to load this vcf file with outlook 2007, all utf-8 fields are
turning into gibberish.

is it a bug of the cellphone or outlook is to blame?

any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
--Lior

Try using iCalConvert at http://www.mhsoftware.com/bin/iCalConvert.msi . A
document describing its use is he
