           Summary: Umlaut import issues when using Import (from KMail it
                    works)
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: cniehaus at kde.org
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I recieved a vCard with ~140 Persons. Many of them have ß or Umlauts (öäüÖÜÄ)
in their names. When I save the .vcf file and import it in KAddressbook I am
getting names like

"Fabian M�nnich"

The � should be an "ö". This is the same for every Umlaut.

When I click on "import contact" in KMail, the Person is correctly imported
into KAddressbook (but of course I won't import 140 persons by hand). Therefore
I guess that there are two code-path', one that works and one with an UTF-8
issue.

A contact looks like this (I removed some lines):


BEGIN:VCARD
PRODID:-//KGS Rastede//vCardExport 1.0//EN
VERSION:3.0
N;CHARSET=UTF-8:Böker;Michael;;;
FN;CHARSET=UTF-8:Michael Böker

<snip>

X-OUTL-IMADDRESS;CHARSET=UTF-8:
CATEGORIES;CHARSET=UTF-8:KGS
REV;CHARSET=UTF-8:20090829T000010
END:VCARD



You can have the full .vcf-file as a private mail if you want, but I cannot add
it to the attachemant as it contains real data of real persons.
