           Summary: Export of VCARD 2.1: Unnecessary (wrong?) linefeeds
                    cause problems
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at go4more.de
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When exporting VCARD 2.1 contact information from kaddressbook, VCF entries
which are longer than a single line are wrapped. 

The special characters used for this line wrap are for some reason "0x0d 0x0a
0x20", that is CR, LF and - space?!?

Obviously, other programs trying to import this  kind of VCF don't know what to
do with this kind of linefeed in the middle of a valid VCF entry.

Removing those strange word/line feeds from my VCARDs make them compatible
again. IMHO the additional space - if not even the complete word wrap - is
unnecessary.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Export 2.1 VCFs with longer entries.

Actual Results:  
Word wrap with space in it breaks the respective  VCARD entry

Expected Results:  
No word wrap
