Hej Martin,

unfortunately the vCard standard in version 3.0 has no field for IM defined,
therefor
every implementation uses its own custom 'X-' fields, that are not supposed to
be supported
by different implementations (according to the standard). Outlook decided to
use one key, we decided to use another,
Evolution uses yet another one...
With the new vCard standard that is currently in development those issues will
hopefully be
fixed, but until then we won't adapt our parser just because somebody else used
something else.
Since these keys can easily be replaced with a simple perl/awk script we see no
urgent reason
to add the burden on our vCard parser/synthesizer to do the conversion.

Ciao,
Tobias
