Hi kde-pim devs,

Another question and your thoughts on this, trying to address another contacts 
bug when using Zimbra.

This time I think the bug may not be with kabc/kaddressbook but possibly with 
Zimbra/Android.

I've reported a KDE bug here on this: 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297540

Basically is it ok to have an EMAIL field such as:
$ cat Downloads/Firstname_Lastname.vcf 
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:Lastname\, Firstname
N:Lastname;Firstname;;;
EMAIL;TYPE=internet:"Firstname Lastname" <firstname at lastname.org>
NOTE:This is line one of the notes section\NThis is line two of the notes 
section\NThis is line three of the notes section\NThis is line four of the 
notes section
REV:2012-04-09T11:39:46Z
UID:8e548460-3843-4e39-9d71-19c7dad93864:522525
END:VCARD

As oppose to the norm:
$ cat Downloads/Firstname_Lastname.vcf 
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:Lastname\, Firstname
N:Lastname;Firstname;;;
EMAIL;TYPE=internet:firstname at lastname.org
NOTE:This is line one of the notes section\NThis is line two of the notes 
section\NThis is line three of the notes section\NThis is line four of the 
notes section
REV:2012-04-09T11:39:46Z
UID:8e548460-3843-4e39-9d71-19c7dad93864:522525
END:VCARD

As kaddressbook doesn't handle the former well.
I've looked at https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt and from what I can see 
the latter doesn't seem to be an option so perhaps this bug I have is with 
Android/Zimbra.

Thanks a ton,
